A woman who cleaned up a teddy bear she found on the side of the road is now looking to find him a permanent home.
Zoe Mulcahy spotted the large cuddly toy on the road near Cokethorpe School in Witney.
She took the bear home, put him in the washing machine and posted on Facebook looking to find the owner on April 12.

Ms Mulcahy said: “I had caught a glimpse of something when driving to work in the morning but couldn’t make out exactly what it was.
“It wasn’t until I was driving home that I saw more clearly and realised it was a teddy bear.
“It was raining and he looked so sad lying there so I just had to turn the car around go back for him.”
No one has yet claimed the bear as belonging to them so Ms Mulcahy is currently trying to find a new owner.
She added: It’s just a matter of finding him a new forever home now.
“He is rather big so will need somebody who has space to keep him!”
Users on Facebook were delighted that someone had made the effort to clean up the teddy bear.
Lauren Coles commented: “Oh this makes me so happy!
“I drove past him and felt so sad! You are so wonderful for doing this!”
Nicky Clargo added: “How kind of you to go to all that effort. Well done!”
