You may have seen this already -- the story of the wee lion cub bought from Harrods, released into the wild and what happens when it sees its former owners. Gives me chills.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen in the film. I was waiting for the lion to attack them. Amazing story. Just goes to show what a little love can do.

A story from the 1970s, and I'm almost sure that's George Adamson(?) (of Born Free fame) that's in the film with them.

I was in floods of tears when the lion started running to them!

What a beautiful story and shows that animals do have emotions, and memories, just like us.
