This dog was born on Christmas Eve 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. His first owner also think he could not survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.
By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith".
In the beginning, she put Faith on the surf board to let him fell the movements. Later, she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward him to stand up and jump around. Even the other dogs at home help encourage him to walk. Amazingly, 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 loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous in the international scene. There is even one book entitled: 'With a little Faith' being published about him. he was even considered to appear in one Harry Porter movie. His present owner Jude Stringfellow has given up om 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. Way to go Faith.
