Big Cat Shows Big Love

I am so amazed by this video that I had to stop everything that I’m doing and write a quick post on it.

Here’s the story: The woman in the video found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle. She took him home, fed him and raised him until he was too big to keep in the house. She then made arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion. The video shows the lion’s reaction when his caretaker went to visit him at the zoo for the first time.

This video is sure to make you say “holy crap!” first, followed by a long “awwwwww.” OK, well at least that’s what me and my sidekick L. Pan did when we first watched it. But seriously — what an amazing example of love and appreciation! Now if only humans were that appreciative all the time…
