His name is Faith! 有一種信念叫堅強！

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

這隻用兩條腿走路的狗名叫Faith(信念)，出生于2002年耶誕節的前夕。
它出生時共有三條腿--兩條健全的後腿和一條開始萎縮的前肢(前肢後來用手術除掉)。出生不久的Faith並不能正常走動而只能躺在地上用兩爪推動身體，甚至連它的狗媽媽也因為覺得它是弱者而嘗試要殺死它。



His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of "putting him to sleep". By this time, his present owner Stringfellow met him and wanted to take care of him. She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him "Faith".
Faith 的第一個主人認為這隻不能走動的狗絕不可能存活下去，因此考慮要把它人道毀滅。幸好，這時Stringfellow家庭(也是Faith以後至今的主人) 發現了Faith並願意領養照顧牠。他們決志要把這狗訓練成能走路的狗，因此就幫它取名為Faith(信念)--他們深信Faith終會有能走路的一天。

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let him feel the movements. Later she used peanut buuter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him to stand up and jump around. Even the other dog at home also helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being.

剛開始時他們把Faith放在滑板上讓它感受移動的感覺，後來他們用湯匙上的花生醬作為訓練它站立和跳躍的引餌和獎勵，而家中的另一隻哥基犬也似乎常常想要強迫牠去走動。奇蹟地，Faith漸漸學會用兩條腿平衡和跳躍式地前進，最後經過雪地中等的訓練，Faith已經可以跟人一樣用兩腿步行，中間只花了不到六個月的時間。

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled "With a little faith" being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
Faith 喜歡到處跑動，不論去到哪裏都會吸引所有人的目光。事實上，Faith在國際上已開始被廣為人知。曾經上過很多各地新聞和有名的電視節目，也有一本關於牠故事的書"With a little Faith'被出版，甚至曾被考慮過在哈裏波特"火焰杯的考驗"電影中客串。


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".
現在此刻Faith的主人Jude Stringfellow已放棄了教師的職位，並計劃要帶Faith去作世界性的探訪，傳揚"沒有完美的身體，也會有完美的靈魂"的資訊。
