Nine years have gone since the day Tosca gave birth to a tiny polar bear baby. Unfortunately she couldn’t take care of the cub herself but we will always be grateful for the precious gift she gave us.
Thomas Dörflein gave the name ‘Knut’ to the cubbie and when the first photos of the keeper and the bear were published people throughout the world were charmed.
The story of Knut and TD has been told so many times and in so many ways that there’s no need to repeat it …. we can instead take a walk on the memory lane and remember all the wonderful moments we had.
The story had a very sad end but we can also claim it had no end …. why would so many Knut friends otherwise gather in Berlin year after year to celebrate our magic bear’s birth?!
Dear Knut, you were so special, so beloved – and you still are!
Our little dreamer keeps touching our hearts ….
Today would – and should! – have been your ninth birthday and maybe there would have been even small Knutis if you had been allowed to stay with us. It would have been so wonderful ….. With a deep sigh I just have to accept we can’t always get what we want. However, I’m happy having had the privilege of knowing you!
