"Most people shy away from giving their partner a foot massage let alone dishing one out to a 40 stone killing machine. But British park ranger Alex Larenty is made of sterner stuff and has no qualms about gently rubbing the paws of a lion under his care. The 50-year-old regularly treats Jamu to a foot massage and these pictures make it clear the eight-year-old lion is appreciative. Rolling around like a kitten, Jamu appears to be having the time of his life. The shots were taken at The Lion Park, near Johannesburg, South Africa, just weeks before a man who broke into the reserve was mauled and killed." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

This so reminds me of the foot massage conversation in Pulp Fiction: Vincent: Have you ever given a foot massage? Jules: [scoffs] Don't be tellin' me about foot massages. I'm the foot fuckin' master. Vincent: Given a lot of 'em? Jules: Shit yeah. I got my technique down and everything, I don't be ticklin' or nothin'. - Andre Pope
