In the late 1960s, the trio became the talk of London's King's Road, as they lived and worked together, with Christian even joining them in their furniture shop. But as Christian grew, the question of his future loomed large. Should he be sent to a zoo or given his freedom? The answer led them on an incredible journey to Kenya, where they encountered the renowned George Adamson, who helped Christian adapt to life in the wild. A year later, Anthony and John returned to find their beloved friend thriving, and their reunion was captured in a video that would become an internet sensation.
