Christian the Lion
In 1969, two friends, Ace Berg and John Rendall, purchased and adopted a lion from Africa. At the time, Christian was only a 35 pound cub which was born in a zoo. The friends raised Christian in their London home, and then later became great friends!
Within a year, Christian grew too big for the two of them to handle, and the two humans realized they couldn't keep him around much longer. Therefore, the two decided to release Chritian back into the wild and back into a conservation system Africa.
In 1974, Rendall and Berg decided to visit Christian one last time despite a friend telling them that it was too dangerous because Christian might not even remember them. Despite the warning, the two friends flew to Kenya anyway. When they finally arrived at the reservation, Christian showed up for a heartwarming reunion. Check it out. Oh, and prepare the Kleenex. You are not going to have dry eyes after this.
