Little Faith


This is '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.

His first owner also did not think that he can 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's determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him '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..

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



This made me realize that's "life is what we make it". Everyday is a gift to be treasure and live to it's fullest. Be a blessing. Thanks Faith!

note:
I got this email from a friend and i am not really a dog lover but this one touched my heart..i hope it will touch yours too.. =)
