Faith, a bipedal female dog, was born to a mother dog, believed to be nearly full blooded chow in December of 2002 with only three legs; two fully-developed hind legs and a deformed front leg, which was amputated soon after birth.
Faith was weak, small, and mostly she was nearly dead. Jude Stringfellow's son, Reuben rescued Faith out from under Faith's mum and smuggled her under his jersey. He wore #63 for the Putnam City Pirates football team.
Using a spoon with peanut butter as an incentive, Jude from Oklahoma City, U.S 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. Part of her therapy included being put on a skateboard to experience movement. Over six months the family taught her to stand, hop and eventually walk and run on her two back legs
