that little clip brought tears to my eyes.
OMG, tears, tears, tears
Why do you want to make people cry at work? Sheesh! I want a hug from a lion.

Ingrid sent me the link and made me cry at work, so I thought I would pay the favor forward. :wink:

Full screen mode works, too.
OMG! The look of shear joy and love on the men's faces was just indescribable. (Note to self - on next trip to drug store, buy waterproof mascara.)
I've seen that a dozen times and each I cry while laughing....isn't it cool? The whole story behind Christian is really worth a read. Did you know the original owners bought him at Harrod's? 8O How does that happen?
Amazing!! It's sad they never saw him again though. :(
Wow how great was that 8O
You could see his tail wagging when he first greets 8O
Oliver huggs just the same (no tail just big bottem wiggling):lol:

FANTASTIC.... :D :D :D

You never really know how an animal will react or what it thinks :?
They will always be one step ahead, just to make you go "Wow"

FANTASTIC.......
Cool 8)

thanks for posting I've watched it a couple of times so far :lol:
Truely a beautiful story. Yet another reason I like animals better than most humans.
I found this article. It's worth the read and tells the story more indepth of the relationship between the men and Christian.

Thanks for posting the rest of the story, Leslie. It is a truly remarkable story.
