    what a story - happy tears for me

     A lion cub was for sale at Harrods (1969) two guys bought it to rescue it - it got too big they gave it to George Adamson (Born Free fame) and I'll let the video do the rest

     That was really sweet, but... holy jeepers, seems like a bad idea! Stick out tongue I'm glad it ended well!

    I really don't usually cry at stuff like that, but WOW, as soon as he knocked the one guy over with his "hug", I was in tears. After the video, being the skeptic I am, I went to snopes.com to look this up, make sure the story's true...and it is.

    That story had me in tears! That is so amazing and so sweet. I loved the part where he just ran up and hugged them.

    I have seen that quite a bit recently. I think it is a wonderful story but I had to laugh, as the no longer cub comes bounding up to the people you have to say "gee I hope it is recognition...not dinner" Don't know that "I" could just stand there, that is for sure.
