Here's an amazing video of a full-grown lion's reunion with its owners who bought the lion cub from Harrods and raised him as a pet. However, as Christian grew bigger, they had no choice but to send him to Africa where he could roam freely in the wild.

I have always thought that such ferocious animals will only pounce on its prey or intruder given any opportunity, let alone remembering their owners and giving them a "lion hug" after a year of separation.

Unbelievable!
