Meet Faith the Dog - Page 1

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'.


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.

Tarek,

Excellent message, I thank God for the good condition me and my family are in and pray to him to give me faith all the time. This woman had faith and determination and made a miracle come true with her beloved dog. Thanks Tarek for this excellent meaningful true story.

Ibrahim

Hima- Long time not hear  from you.

That is really what I meant from sending this message. I wanted everybody to thank god for his & his family condition and to have faith that with patience miracles come true.

Thanks Ibrahim

He really has a shining personality that shows through. His sheer persistence has given him a full and exciting life.

I saw the show on Animal Planet TV channel and it really is inspiring. 

I also love the story about Wheelie Willy, a tiny dog with paralyzed rear legs.

Dogs are not like us.  They think about what they have and enjoy it to the fullest while we humans think more about what we don't have or what we have lost.

Great pictures.  Thanks,

Michele

Well said Michele

Ibrahim

How right you are Michele, I agree with you

Tarek

I agree too, Michele...

Dogs don't focus on those things.  Like Oakley.  So she's blind.  We're the only ones who know that.  What she knows is that when you feel this certain feeling, it means you're getting close to something, so detour around it.  Follow your nose and your heart, and you'll be fine.

There's no handicap in a dog's heart.

Thank God for the lessons our dogs can teach us... I sometimes wonder if that's not the reason they are here to begin with.  To teach us to be grateful for more what we have than what we want, for what we love, than what we can pursue...
