EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are introduced to the extraordinary world of garage owner Mr. Tom Gillespie and his rather unconventional watch dog. Meet Leo, a five-month-old lion cub who has found an unlikely home in the forecourt of Tom's garage in Johnstone. As you can imagine, encountering Leo sitting by the petrol pump was quite a surprise for pretty 23-year-old Helen Gillespie when she stopped by for some fuel. Tom's bond with Leo is truly remarkable as he keeps the young cub on a lead and allows him to freely roam around the garage forecourt. The image captures not only the unusual friendship between man and beast but also showcases their shared love for all things automotive. With its mix of humor and cuteness, this photograph transports us back to January 1975, offering a glimpse into a time where such unique companionship could exist outside our wildest imaginations. It serves as a reminder that sometimes unexpected friendships can blossom even in the most unlikely places. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, let us appreciate both the expressions on Helen's face - undoubtedly displaying shock mixed with awe - and Leo's innocent curiosity towards his surroundings. This heartwarming scene encapsulates an era filled with wonderment and reminds us that true connections know no boundaries – not even those set by species or societal norms.
