Faith, the dog was born on Christmas Eve, 2002. He was born with only two hind legs. His front legs were severely deformed. Even his mother did not want him.  


His first owner also did not think that he could survive and 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' about him.

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 soul.  

Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.
