Finding Faith: Two-legged dog, part one

If you haven't yet found Faith -- she's all over the Internet -- we bring her to you today, via a local TV news dispatch from a while back.

Faith was on her way to greater things at the time of this report -- the talk show circuit, a book, product endorsements -- some of which we'll show you in the days ahead.

Faith was born with three legs in late 2002 and taken in by the Stringfellow family in Oklahoma City family in early 2003. Of her three legs, one was deformed and had to be removed when she was seven months old.

With only her hind legs left, Faith learned to walk -- upright -- a feat her owner Jude Stringfellow says was a result of lots of hard work, though Stringfellow also says she gives all the credit to Jesus.

Whatever the case, Faith was up and running and -- though there have been a few bumps in the road -- she has gone on to charm and inspire thousands.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
