Touching Story!

By
Real Estate Agent with The Homefinding Center

Just a small piece of encouragement - if this puppy can learn to walk like a human, why do we hold ourselves back from things thinking they are impossible? 

If you are discouraged by this market, just keep on practicing by writing offers!!  Eventually, you'll learn to run not just walk! 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

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 Stringfellow 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 .   

A  small request: All you are asked to do is keep this story circulating .

I'm really glad you both enjoyed it!  I love reading stories like this; it helps me to understand that nothing is ever IMPOSSIBLE. You can't have impossible without possible - and even further, break it up to be "I'M POSSIBLE"! 

Best of luck to you both!  And happy holidays! 

May God bless you!
