The wonder dog Faith was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. The dog has deformed front legs and luckily for Faith a boy – Ruben - found him before the dog's mother discarded him. The legs needed to be amputated and all the Vets suggested Faith to be killed. Otherwise they thought the dog could never walk.
Jude, Ruben's mother, took a good care of the dog, named him Faith and set a goal - teaching Faith to walk on two legs. Faith was put into a surfing board to let him feel the movements. To strengthen Faith's legs later Jude used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and then rewarded Faith for standing up and jumping around. The other dog at the house also encouraged and persuaded Faith to start walking. And less than an year later – the miracle happened. Faith first learned to balance on just two legs and jump around, and later to even walk like human being.
Faith's story is just another example of strength of the life itself. No matter how imperfect is the body the soul and the will could overcome every obstacle and everyone could enjoy life. Like the dog - Faith – who loves to walk around everywhere now and is an attraction and inspiration for all the people.
