A stuffed tiger was finally returned to his 6-year-old owner, but not before the employees of Tampa International Airport photographed it having the time of its life.
A boy was separated from his beloved handmade stuffed tiger "Hobbes" while traveling through Tampa International Airport recently. His distraught mother contacted the airport looking for help. Various employees helped in the search and found the missing Hobbes in a play area.

Airport Operations Center manager Tony D’Aiuto had an idea while they waited for 6-year-old Owen to return to the airport. With the help of police, airlines, operations staff and the USO as well as others from the airport, they took the opportunity to give Hobbes a "tour" of TIA.
Hobbes was photographed at various facilities seemingly participating in various funtions of airport operations. He's seen working out at the gym, posing with firefighters and even playing Jenga! at the USO.

When the family returned to the airport June 11, they were met by AOC manager James Parker, who returned Hobbes to Owen and presented a book that D'Aiuto made with photos of all the tiger's hijinks while at the airport.
