Two Legged Dog Dog Gives Hope to Wounded Soldiers

Born without front legs to a junkyard dog around Christmas 2002, Faith the puppy was rejected and abused by her mother. She was rescued by Reuben Stringfellow, now an Army E-4 specialist, 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...

What a great story. Thanks for sharing. I'm one of your "friends" on eHow. I appreciated your comment on my art blog. I think that if you have a desire to start painting again that you should just decide to. It only takes a little time each day or even a couple of days each week to redevelop those skills you once had.
