Soriano took to Twitter the next day to ask for help finding her the custom Build-A-Bear, which contains a recording from her mom saying “I love you. I’m proud of you. I’ll always be with you.”

As the story began to trend, it reached actor Ryan Reynolds who offered a reward of $5,000 to whoever returned the sentimental item back to Soriano.

After a four-day disappearance, Soriano was reunited with the special bear on Tuesday, CBC reports.

According to CBC, Soriano said the bear was returned to her in perfect condition by two men who told her they found it in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park; however, she isn’t concerned with an explanation.

All that matters is that Mama Bear is back home.
