Faith Alone: Stories of an Amazing 2 Leg Dog
This dog with 2 legs stands out in a crowd
Faith Alone: Stories of an Amazing Dog
Amazon Price: $15.11 (as of 12/16/2009)
She's been on Oprah and Montel. She's been on Japanese and Korean TV and is scheduled to fly to Istanbul next month.
Faith's owner, Jude Stringfellow, 46, said she gave up her job as a teacher in Oklahoma to take Faith on the road. Her son found Faith as a puppy, and the dog has grown into a calling and a job.
Her focus, she said, is spreading Faith's message.
Faith By Name Faith By Nature
An Amazing 2 Leg Dog Tale
Faith, a bipedal female dog, was born in December 2002 with only three legs; two fully-developed hind legs and a deformed front leg, which was amputated when she was 7 months old after it began to atrophy. Her owner, Jude Stringfellow, adopted Faith when the mother dog was found trying to smother the deformed puppy-- her son rescued the puppy and brought her home. Many people, including veterinarians, advised that Faith be euthanized. Instead, using a spoon with peanut butter as an incentive, Jude taught Faith to hop but Faith decided on her own to walk; the family's corgi would bark at Faith from another room, or nip her heels to urge her to walk.
Faith is not the only two-legged dog, there is a chihuahua in Texas, with a similar condition who also walks upright, but Faith is probably the most famous.
It is surmounting difficulties that makes heroes.

- They are amazing animals! It is interesting how animals don't let minor set backs [like missing legs] get them down, but they make the most of what they have got - a great lesson for us.
