yeah, the history of it is a bit suspect. But the interaction, regardless, is just beautiful

Have just finished reading the book that goes with this footage… some say it is filled with ‘truth stretching’ but if you watch the clip you have posted it all seems so very real. I know that buying a lion cub at Harrods ‘just because they could’ may not have been very responsible but the way these two men took on their role to provide for Christian was remarkable… If only the world could have such love and care for our animals so many species wouldn’t be suffering as they are.

It’s like the CS Lewis quote – “We read to know we are not alone” – these things connect us and help us to know we are not alone in the world.

I saw this particular story about six months ago – and it was amazing. I was quite surprised at the emotion I felt whilst watching this amazing bond between animal and man.
