A Dog named FAITH

//got this from a forwarded email message from one of the pastors i know...

galing sobra.. :D

This is 'Faith' 

This dog was born on Christmas Eve 2002..  

He was born with three legs - two healthy hind legs and one abnormal front leg which need to be amputated.  

He could not walk at birth.  

 

His mother did not want him.
His first owner also did not think that he can survive.  

Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.   
 

By 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.  

Therefore she named him 'Faith'.

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movements.  

Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around.  

Even the other dog at home helped to encourage him to walk.  

Amazingly after only six months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his two hind legs and jumped to move forward.  

After further training in the snow, he now can 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 on 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 the Harry Potter movies.

Jude 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.

Perhaps one will feel better and change their point of view by looking at things from another direction.
I hope that 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.
Faith is the continual demonstration of the Strength of Life…
