TWO MEN RAISED A LION CUB FROM INFANCY AND WHEN IT GOT TOO BIG TO TAKE CARE OF IN CAPTIVITY THEY RELEASED 'CHRISTIAN' INTO THE WILDS OF AFRICA.
. 
AFTER A YEAR, THEY TRAVELED TO AFRICA TO SEE THE LION, BUT WERE TOLD THAT
HE WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM. 

THIS VERY SHORT VIDEO SHOWS THE LION AS HE SEES THE TWO PEOPLE WHO RAISED HIM.

That was one of the absolute best video's I have ever watched. Brought tears to my eyes - what a lovely video & story for them.

Amazing. I have been reading the book "Heaven" and this is one of the things I look forward to in heaven. The lion will lay down with the lamb.

This is a great reunion. We give animals, and friendship, so little credit.

Oh wow! The sarcastic side of me was waiting for him to go for the neck. That was a great video!
I don't know if I'm being overly emotional today or what, but this brought tears to my eyes. What a fantastic reunion!

That was so sweet!

I've seen this video before. Truly amazing. I find it amusing that it's more affectionate than my cat.
Rocco R. Jul 15, 2008, 5:26pm EDT
Excellent video!

I am at a loss for words! WOW!

This is so amazing. I have to go get a tissue, i find i can't stop crying.
Suze P. Jul 15, 2008, 6:06pm EDT
aww. that was sooo sweeet.. that made me cry. Some people say animals don't feel real emotions, and they don't really think .. but it's just not true.

Sounds so much like "Born Free."
