This is 'Faith'
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3
legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which needed
to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his
mother did not want him.  His first owner also did not think that he could survive. Therefore, he
was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.
By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to
take care of him.
She was determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself.
Therefore she named him 'Faith'.  In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the
movements.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to
stand up and jump around.
Even the other dog at home also helped to encourage him to walk.
Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance
on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts
all the people around him.
He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on
various newspapers and TV shows.
There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published
about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter
movies.  His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and
plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect
body, one can have a perfect 'soul'.   IP: Logged |

 In life there are always undesirable things.
I hope this message will bring hope and fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and
help us to appreciate and be thankful for all the many small blessings in our lives.
Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life.  IP: Logged |
