Default Check out the cute/amazing puppy

This is from an e-mail I received -- Just thought the puppy was adorable and amazing how he gets around with only two back legs -- check him out

http://www.faiththedog.net/index.asp

A little section of the e-mail I received to peak your interest!!

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 when 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. Therefore 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 give n 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.
