MILWAUKEE — The owner of a lost teddy bear at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport has been found!

The special teddy bear has been going on an airport adventure after losing its best friend, but soon, they will be reunited!

Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport said this specific lost teddy bear happens to be given to children who are born with congenital heart defects (CHD).

"We recognize how special this bear must be to someone," the airport posted on Facebook. "So, we'd love to get him back home!"

He was left behind on Jan. 4.

"We've had him for a month now and he appears to be pretty well loved, so we're hoping his family is out there somewhere," Milwaukee Mitchell posted on Facebook.

This lost teddy became a pilot for the day with his friend Violet.

While awaiting for his owner to come forward, the airport said he has been hanging out with its "original left behind stuffed animal" Violet. He got to check out nonstops, gear up like a pilot, visit baggage claim, and even head to the airport's Starbucks.

Check out the adorable pictures below:

The two have not been reunited yet, but will be soon according to the airport!
