    In 1969 these two guys bought a lion cub at Harrods in London... they hand raised him, however, he quickly outgrew their London flat. They found him a home in Africa, where a very special man worked with domesticated big cats to reintroduce them into the wild. The guys moved heaven and earth to send Christian (the lion) to this preserve, and he was successfully put back in the wild, however, he never lost his friendship with his human contacts. This video is the reunion with his original two owners, a year later, and it's so heartwarming... Animal planet had a 30 documentary on his story this morning, and I cried at the end of it.... hope you enjoy it!..... truly amazing

  4. It really is an outstanding story! One you may likely never see again. I just love it! Especially that Christian settled into the wild so very nicely and took on a mate. Thanks for posting this AV because there's always others who've not seen it and it's definitely a must see video! =)
