And the crowd had come from far and near

To welcome back two friends so dear.

The old bobcat with the bandaged knee

Was the first to shake with TEDDY-B,

And a young cougar and a panther bold

Helped TEDDY-G his load to hold,

And two big-horn sheep and a mountain deer

Stood up on stumps to lead each cheer,

And hundreds more gave welcome hand

To the most famous bears in all the land.
