Be sure to go to Snopes to get 'the rest of the story' after you watch the video. Very interesting!!!

'Snopes' says this is true - it's unbelievable!

I just watched a second time and realized those were two GUYS. I thought one was a woman. Still teary eyed, though.

It IS a true story. I remember reading the book when it first came out and I think I remember seeing a TV documentary? Not sure...

And the female-looking bloke with long hair was fairly typical for the times back then.

1st I want to know how much is 250 Guineas in American???

Then I want to hug both those men for doing the right thing with a mighty lion. See? You can turn out okay if you are raised by two same sex parents. Lion even got a wife.

Oh Star, you just made me laugh so hard.....

If you take some time to read and look through the photos of this man who took Christian...it's amazing. I would SOOO love to meet this person, although he has passed. What an incredible life that you do something that you are passionate about.

Ok, I'm obsessed with this now. I just ordered Born Free from the Library, but they don't have the Christian the Lion. They have it on Ebay and Amazon for $15, though. I'll think about it.

How heartwarming!

So very glad I have my glasses on instead of the contacts. WOW! Think I'll watch it again just to use up the last 2 tissues. Amazing!!!!!!!

 

[tryinghard]

I have watched it 15 times and have cried every time. It is just so heartwarming and amazing to me.

I am glad you all have enjoyed it.
