The guy opens the gate where his pet is kept and as soon as it opens out came a lion jumping at him! But you can tell by the jump that it wasn’t a beast-over-its-prey jump but a pet-missing-its-master jump. From jump-off point to hugging its master, the lion was all sweetness, gentleness and intense longing.

If you haven’t see a lion love, miss and hug a human being, you should watch this touching video. The guy catches and carries the lion in his arms and the huge pet clings to him like a son would. And then, together they slowly hit the ground, the arms of both still in a tight hug, and then the lion poses before the cameras.

Lovely scene! Watch the video to be inspired!
