    Christian the Lion

    Not sure if this has been on PT in the past (I did search, couldn't find it).

    I did post it a while ago. But suki wingy added more video footage to it. If you'd like to see it here is the link.

    It is a wonderful thing.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    George also talks more about Christian and the other lions in one of his books, My Pride and Joy. (His wife's name was Joy)

    You can also buy the whole 1971 documentary there in DVD or VHS format.

    Sandie I had not seen this here or anywhere before. Thank you for posting it. It was just beautiful. I like to think that the reunion depicted here is like the one we will experience with our pets who have gone before when they come running to us from the Rainbow Bridge.

    This is so beautiful. I had not seen when it was posted before so I am glad you posted it so that I didn't miss it.
