This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002.
Born with only 2 legs he of course could not walk when he was born.
His Mother also rejected him after birth and he wasn't allowed to feed.
1786
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.
1787
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 teach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul
1788
1790
1789
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 .
