This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. She was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. She of course could not walk when she was born. Even her mother did not want her.Her first owner also did not think that she can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting her to sleep'. By this time, her present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met her and wanted to take care of her. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by herself. Therefore she named her 'Faith'.In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let her feel the movements. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for her to stand up and jump around. Even the other dog at home helped to encourage her to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on her 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, she now can walk like a human being.Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where se goes, she just attracts all the people around her. She is now becoming famous on the international scene. She has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about her. She was even considered to appear in one of the Harry Potter movies.
Her present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take her around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps we would feel better if we changed our point of view to see things from another direction.I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.
Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life !!
