A Dog Named Faith

This story was sent to me in an e-mail, and it touched my heart so much, that I just had to chare this with all my friends here in Adland.

IN LIFE WE ARE ALL FACED WITH ADVERSITY AND WITH WHAT APPEAR TO BE IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGES. PLEASE SCROLL AND LEARN ABOUT 'WITH A LITTLE FAITH'. Hal Miller


The owner/trainer of this remarkable dog is Jude Stringfellow who lives in Edmond, Oklahoma . Recently she has been busy taking  Faith to Veterans Hospitals all over the country where he inspires wounded miltary patients.

        This is called 'Faith His name is Faith!

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 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 whenï he was born. Even his mother did not want him.


His first owner also did not think that he could survive. Therefore, he was thinking of putting him to sleep. At this time, his present owner Jude Stringfellow met him and wanted to take care of him. She was determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. ïTherefore she named him 'Faith.'

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surf board to let him feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and to reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, after only 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 can now walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now.No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows.There is even one 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 job 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.

I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.

Healing your own heart is the single most powerful thing you can do to change the world.
