We got this wonderful email as part of a chain, and even though I never do this, I’m passing it along – it’s simply too terrific to miss. Check it out:
 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 the 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.
