Inside the pouch was also a folded slip of paper. Daniels unfolded it, expecting perhaps a name tag. Instead, he found a message written in shaky cursive:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my granddaughter Lily,
If you\u2019re reading this, then you\u2019ve found my treasure.
This belonged to your Grandpa James. He carried it every day for 40 years.
We thought it was lost\u2026 but I tucked it into your teddy so it would stay with you forever.

The mother gasped. \u201cThat\u2026 that looks like\u2014\u201d She clutched the watch, tears springing to her eyes. \u201cOh my goodness\u2026 this was my father\u2019s! I thought it was gone forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lily blinked, confused but curious. \u201cIs Mr. Pickles magic?\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniels crouched to her level. \u201cI think Mr. Pickles just helped us find something very, very special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Max wagged his tail and licked Lily\u2019s hand. She giggled, hugging her teddy close again.<\/p>\n

Word spread quickly through the terminal: a K9 had barked at a teddy bear and uncovered a lost family treasure. Gate agents swapped the story with grins. TSA staff whispered about it. Even the janitor shaking out a mop outside security smiled to himself.<\/p>\n
