Christian the Lion

This is such a beautiful story!

In 1969, two friends, Ace Berg and John Rendall, purchased and adopted a lion. At the time, Christian was a 35 pound cub. He had been born in a zoo. The friends raised Christian in their London home. All three became great friends!

Within a year, Christian grew too big, Rendall and Berg realized they couldn't keep him much longer. The two decided to release Christian back into the wild. Christian was released into a conservation system Africa.

In 1974, Rendall and Berg decided to visit Christian one last time despite a friend telling them that it was too dangerous because Christian might have no recollection of his up bringers.

The two friends flew to Kenya, anyway. When they finally arrived at the reservation, Christian showed up for a heart-wrenching reunion! He even brought his mate to meet his friends!

Friendships are a type of interpersonal relationship that is found among a few that we can actually fully trust. They are central to our lives and are there through thick and thin. We should be very thankful for having the precious gift of friends.
