Faith, The 2-Legged Dog
Ok, this is something I never thought I would see. As far as inspiration is concerned, it’s right up there with the Father and Son Team Hoyt, only this time it’s man’s best friend that proves anything is truly possible.
Daryn Kagan brings you the inspiring story of Faith, a 2-legged dog who walks upright on her back legs and shows the world you don’t have to be complete to be complete.

Wow, thats awesome! I didn’t know about this dog at all. And right now Im doing amateurresearch about unsual conditions for dogs that still get by. And what effect this has on the dog, haha. Awesome!
The dogs looks like something from another world, I’d really like to meet her. Too bad Im on the other side of the atlantic!
So, how do I bring up my handicapped pet? I have a three-legged goat named Annie, who lost a leg in a dog attack at three months old. She has born five kids for us, and is a great milker, as well.
That is fantastic Jude! My wife and I are huge dog people. We don’t have kids, just two dogs, so we know how much joy they can bring to your life. And Faith is a very special part of the family. I’m glad you guys never gave up on her!
Take care,
John
Hey Guys! Thanks so much for loving and caring enough about Faith to write about her. You’re so sweet! She’s fine. We just took her to the vet the other day and she got a 100% on her score card!!
Tom,
That is a remarkable story. Thanks very much for sharing the link.
I don’t mean to take anything away from the site at all, but my one nitpick would be that I wish they would tone down the religious aspect just a tad. Clearly Nick is an inspirational man and his actions are truly selfless, but it’s a little too “preachy” feeling for me.
It leaves me feeling like he is being used as a poster child as opposed to simply appreciating him as a person. Still, everyone should check the site out because it’s a very interesting story.

i love this dog, it’s like a kangoroo. If my german shepard walked this way, he would of been taller than most human beings heh… humour aside, this is very inspiring, shows that there is a solution to even the worst problems.
That one was a little bit inspiring but Life without limbs is much, much more inspiring.
As amazing is that is, its kinda sad too. Poor pooch.
I love that story! And I absolutely love that line, “You don’t have to be complete to be complete.” LOVE IT!! Just that one simple line, with Faith’s sweet story lingering in the background, really reminds me to be happy right now, in this moment!
Reminds me of something I had heard when I was a kid – ‘I was sad because I had no new shoes until I saw someone who had no feet’. Very inspiring indeed.
I remember seeing this last year sometime. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It looks so funny, yet it really is sad too :'(
Killer cat there, that lizard was pretty damn big.

poor puppy :(
This article was so touching !! It makes me sit back and think that at times in our run for life we forget to become good human beings, it’s that time when we come across such incident that makes us realize the value of faith and belongingness towards others.
Damn, that is one brutal cat!
Thats quite sad, and funny. However, he is lucky, he is an American dog. Otherwise he might already trashed.
See this web site about a cat called Jeff (do not miss it):
