Ace and John had found an inidviudal who was a grounds keeper of a church and willing to allow Christian to play and run about the courtyard. From that space / playground, fit for a lion, came the name of "Christian"..
Ace and John, in their realization that Christian was who she was and felt that she should be in an environment suited for her species. Ace and John connected with an individual in Kenya who was willing to have her present in their wildlife reserve. One can only try to imagine the separation anxiety that Ace, John and Christian experienced in the days and weeks ahead.
After a two-year period, Ace and John returned to the wildlife park and after days of searching they were re-united. Christian's excitement to once again be in the presence of Ace and John has been very well recorded and touches the hearts of all that view this.
My favourite viewing of this story is recorded on YouTube - if you wish to view this clipping, connect with YouTube and type in Christian the Lion - the View". Note the music that accomany's this story -- it is the voice of Whitney Houston and teh words bring out the best of the story and players.
