Faith, a very cool dog

This is 'Faith'

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 need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

Faith
His first owner also did not think that he would survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.

Faith
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'.

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
Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him.

Faith
He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.

Faith
There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him.

Faith
His present owner Jude Stringfellow has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to teach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.

Faith
In life there are always undesirable things. Perhaps one will feel better if one changes the point of view 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.
