With a little faith and nurturing…

Being a dog owner and a believer in our ability to do great things with a little faith in self and encouragement from the right people  I see this email I received as very appropriate for this website.

The message that it puts across in short is;

“When life deals you a hand that others would flounder with, you take it on the chin, surround yourself with people who believe in you and support you and you can turn a frown upside-down and do something inspiring”.

When life throws you lemons, make lemonade

This  dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born  without front legs

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’.

Awwwww

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.

Awesome!

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.

Press ready too!

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’.

Excuse me, coming through

In  life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better  you just need to look at life from another direction.
