Meet Faith the Dog...

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend


 
  Faith the dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. 

He was born with 2 legs - 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 and he was thinking of 'putting him to  sleep'. 

But  then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met  him and wanted  to take care of  him. She  became determined to teach and train this little  dog to walk by himself. She  named him 'Faith'.

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to  let him feel the movement. Later  she used peanut  butter on a spoon as a  lure and reward for  him for standing up and jumping around.   Even  the other dog at home encouraged him to walk.   Amazingly,  only after 6 months, like a  miracle,   Faith  learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump  to move forward. After  further training in the snow, he could now walk  like a human being.      

Faith  loves to walk around now. No  matter where he goes, he attracts people to  him.   He  is fast becoming famous on the international  scene and has  appeared on various newspapers and TV  shows.   There  is now a 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'.                        

 

In  life there are always undesirable things, so in  order to feel better you  just need to look at life from another  direction.   I  hope this message will bring fresh new ways of  thinking to everyone and  that everyone will appreciate and be thankful  for each beautiful day. Faith  is the continual demonstration of the strength  and wonder of life.
