With a Little Faith...

I am a big fan of stumbleupon.com.

Big. Fan.

It's probably the greatest procrastination tool created.

I would say even more so than facebook.

That's right.

So if you don't have a profile yet, you should totally make one.

You find some pretty sweet stuff.

So how it works is you create a profile and enter your "interests."

Then this site uses your interests and brings you to random internet sites that relate to whatever you entered as your interests.

So for me, I get lots of sites of amazing photography of nature and animals, animal sites, cooking sites, and online games.

Today I was on there because I was bored.

I coulda been reading for class, but I didn't want to...

And it brought me to this story...

It brought me to tears, so I just wanted to share it with you.

I hope it touches your heart the way it touched mine.

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2  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'.  

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 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 .
