Christian the Hugging Lion
by Justin Richardson
Summary: When Ace and John find a lion cub for sale at Harrods department store, they buy him, name him Christian, and the three live happily for a year in a London apartment, but eventually Christian grows too big and they must let him go to live the life of a wild cat. Based on a true story; includes an author's note.
I love this story! Any animal lover should read it. I recommend watching the youtube video just as much! It is extremely touching.
