This first video was shown to be by a friend on her iPhone. I cried. That the video was done to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” didn’t help. Then I watched it on the “big screen” laptop, and I cried again, maybe harder the second time.
Here’s the story summary: In 1969, two friends, Ace Berg and John Rendall, purchased and adopted a lion. At the time, Christian was a 35only pound cub. He had been born in a zoo. The friends raised Christian in their London home. All three became great friends! Within a year, Christian grew too big, Rendall and Berg realized they couldn’t keep him much longer. The two decided to release Chritian back ino the wild. Christian was realeased 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. The two friends flew to Kenya, anyway. When they finally arrived at the reservation, Christian showed up for a heart wrentching reunion! He even brought his mate to meet his friends!
I Snoped it to make sure it was legit before posting. The Snopes site tells more about the story, as well. (Click on the picture for the video.)
This video was sent to me yesterday by my father-in-law. (Though he works 100 hour weeks, he somehow has the time to find little nuggets like this for the grandkids.) This is a sweet video about two unusual friends.
