The great will to life

Faith (dog)


Faith, a bipedal female dog, was born in December of 2002 with only three legs; two fully-developed hind legs and a deformed front leg, which was amputated soon after birth.[1] Her owner, Jude Stringfellow adopted Faith when the original owners feared her disability would leave her unable to move, and planned to euthanize her. Instead, using a spoon with peanut butter as an incentive, Jude taught Faith to hop and later walk on her two hind legs, and the family's corgi would bark at Faith from another room, or nip her heels to urge her to walk.

Faith is not the only two-legged dog, there is a chihuahua in Texas, with a similar condition who also walks upright, but Faith is probably the most famous.
