This 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'.
