EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to December 1967 at Plymouth zoo, where Mustapha the lion cub has mistaken himself for a guard dog. This adorable little lion is captured in a moment of pure innocence and playfulness as he engages with one of the zookeeper's sons. The image showcases an unexpected friendship between Mustapha and the young boy, who fearlessly interacts with the gentle cub. Their bond transcends species boundaries, reminding us that love and connection can be found in even the most unlikely places. Mustapha's playful nature is evident as he frolics around with his new human friend. The basket nearby adds a touch of whimsy to the scene, emphasizing their innocent companionship. It is truly remarkable how these two beings have formed such a strong bond despite their differences. This photograph not only captures a precious moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the beauty and innocence that exists within our animal friends. The genuine affection shared between Mustapha and his newfound companion reminds us of the power of friendship, regardless of age or species. As we gaze upon this delightful snapshot from yesteryears, we cannot help but smile at Mustapha's endearing attempt to fulfill his role as a guard dog while embracing his true nature as an adorable lion cub.
