So Reuben 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.

Today Faith is a brisk, upright walker. When she runs, every so often she adds a hop or skip to her step, but she stumbles less often than most humans. She takes vitamins and joint supplements, and vets have declared her very healthy, Stringfellow said....

Stringfellow will never forget a woman from New York who happened to see Faith on a street corner. She was depressed and had lost both legs to diabetes.

"She was in her wheelchair and saw us. She was crying. She had seen Faith on television. She just held her and said she wished she had that kind of courage." Stringfellow said. "She told us: 'I was on my way to pick up the gun.' She handed the pawn ticket to a police officer and said she didn't need it anymore."

God bless these folks and God bless this dog. Never give up on your animal if you have to have a surgery that removes a leg or two, they will adapt and be happy. If it’s two back legs you can get carts (or make them) for all different-sized animals. If it’s one leg in the back it won’t slow them down very much, if it’s a front one it’ll be a little different because the front legs come down independently for steering adjustments (back legs work together running). But your pet just having you around and loving them, they will be happy and will find ways to motor on and be happy.

They mostly live in the moment and don’t get depressed about what they have lost. Unlike us. But it’s inspiring to see how happy they are with their problems and they just keep on going and making us happy. They keep giving us their joy.

This dog gives new meaning to living life to the fullest, but, with ObamaCare, this dog would have been put down for the greater good of the community.
