A DOG NAMED FAITH
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.
