This is a beautiful story that has a happy ending. I think this little gal doesn't know she is different but totally special!!
This is called 'Faith'
Her name is Faith!
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 needed 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 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 also 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 she 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 on TV shows.
There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about her.

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 one will feel better if one changes the point of view from another direction
