CHRISTIAN THE LION
After being moved to tears for 3 days from watching this touching video, I decided to set us this lens, so as many people as possible could feel the love, and spread the love!
It is the most amazing expression of love between man and animal. Love truly knows no bounds and needs no words... watch, weep, feel the love and pass it on!

CHRISTIAN THE LION'S STORY
The Story of Christian the Lion
In 1969, two friends, John Rendall and Ace Berg, saw a lion cub for sale in Harrods, in London. They were immediately touched by this lonely lion in a small cage and decided to take him home. They named him Christian. At the time, this lion cub weighed 35 pounds.
The friends raised Christian in their London home. All three hung out in their furniture shop on the weekends. Within a year, Christian had grown to 185 lbs.
Rendall and Berg realized they couldn't keep him in an apartment for much longer, but didn't know where to turn for help. A chance encounter changed that.
Two actors from the film 'Born Free' walked into the furniture store.
Don't you just love life's amazing synchronicities!
The actors recommended a conservationist, George Adamson, living in Kenya. Christian was soon in Africa. There he was rehabiliated and released into the wild.
In 1974, Rendall and Berg decided to visit Christian one last time. He was now a wild animal. Adamson told them it was doubtful that Christian could be found. No one had seen him in nine months.
The two flew to Kenya, anyway. On the day they landed, Christian appeared outside Adamson's camp. Somehow, he knew. He waited outside the camp until Rendall and Berg arrived.
This video was taken of their reunion with Christian.
