She was determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself.
Hence, his name "Faith."
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surf board to let him feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and to reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk.
Amazingly, after only 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(scroll back up and look again at puppy picture), he can now walk like a human being.
He spends his time as a super successful motivational speaker in classrooms.
Hospitals.
Any where someone needs an emotional boost.
Next time you think you are overwhelmed with life's little problems think of Faith.
And I'll bet God will open a door for you.
Love Note to my Big Shoooter: Thank you for reminding me of this precious, brave dog and the quote. You remind me of Faith. You are the Shooter Family's very own miracle. "Healing your own heart is the single most powerful thing you can do to change the world."
