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 had to be amputated. 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.
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 has appeared in the Oprah Winfrey show and touched many hearts.
His present owner, Jude Stringfellow, 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 spirit.
My friends, no matter who we are - where we are - how we are , there are always undesirable things and situations, so in order to feel better -really- you just need to look at life differently from another angle and things amazingly will change for the better.
I received this message and sharing it knowing that it will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful moment.
Have Faith - it is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.
Possibility happens .... as long as we have Faith and Trust in Him!
