Born without front legs to a junkyard dog around Christmas 2002, Faith, the puppy, was rejected and abused by her mother. She was rescued by Rueben Stringfellow.. Rueben turned Faith over to his mother, English professor, Jude Stringfellow. At first the family had to carry Faith to keep her off her chest and chin. But with peanut butter and practice, Faith learned to walk on her two hind legs.
Since that day on March 22, 2002, Faith has done the talk show circuit, gone on tour with Ozzy Osbourne and been named an honorary Army sergeant. Jude Stringfellow has become a motivational speaker, written two books about Faith and is working on a third, "Faith Walks."
