A dog named Faith
Got this in an e-mail. It's pretty cool!
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.
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!!
Also: I wrote a review for The Zoo's "Zoology" album.
