Have you seen this....

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4823850/Two-huge-cats-wild-godmother.html

 

A woman adopted two lion cubs, but had to give them up to her local zoo when they grew too large, she visits them several times a month.

 

Here is the heartwarming moment the lions ran over to embrace the woman who raised them when they were newborn cubs.

 

 The woman gave the cubs to a zoo in Switzerland when they became too big for her

 

 

 The lions open their paws out and give the woman a really big hug - one lion is captured closing its eyes to enjoy the moment.The woman almost in tears fully embraces them as they lick her face and play with her hair.

😭-

That reminds me of that man (and wife?)

who raised Christian the lion and came back to see him after releasing him to a reserve when he got older. The lion ran and hugged him and introduced him to his new lady lionSmiley HappyHeart

I cry everytime I see the video.

So beautiful

Nice video.  According to the article she is part of the rescue group that took them in when the parents rejected them.  She is 1 of 3 people who can get that close to them.  She sees them up to 3 times a month.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Oh wow!  I love this so much!  Just like Christian the lion who reunited with his previous owners too.  I would so love to be hugged by a lion like that.  This is a very happy story.  Thank you @MorningLover for posting it.

I was afraid to click on this because I thought it would make me cry.  I'm so glad I did.  Unbelievable!  I think it will be a lot like this in heaven.  We are spirit and don't eat.  So animal and human spirits exist together in harmony.  Hope this doesn't sound weird.  The pictures are beautiful and moving.
