I recently lost my dog and I cry everyday over him there was no greater love than my Beasley. I ask GOD everyday if I can only have him back when I get to heaven and then I stumbled on this video. All I can say that video has to be the most touching thing that I ever seen. Just maybe GOD answered my prayer. The joy they had on there face when they seen Christian said it all.The love for animals is in a league of it's own. There is no greater love but that from a animal.

To see the whole amazing story http://www.bornfree.org.uk and help The Born Free Foundation save more wildlife.

Christian left the Kora Reserve in 1973. He made his new territory along the Tana river, but when the Wakamba herdsmen kept bringing their livestock to his hunting ground, he moved on. George Adamson said in his autobiography, "I used to count the days on which we hadn't seen Christian, but when they reached 97, I gave up recording them in my diary." Because a lion can live from 12 to 15 years in the wild, Adamson believed that Christian ended his days in the Meru National Reserve only a few miles up river.
