These Animals Have Thrived Despite Their Disabilities

An Appropriate Name

Most people have heard of this amazing dog by now. Faith was born with just three legs. Her one front leg ended up needing to be amputated because it never fully developed and was slowing her down. Veterinarians advised Faith’s rescuer, Jude, to put the pup down but Jude refused. Instead, she taught Faith to hop around on her hind legs.

Faith became famous and spent her life traveling the world, visiting with injured soldiers. She was even bestowed with a non-commission rank of E5 Sgt. at Ft. Lewis, Washington, and had her own military jacket. Although Faith passed away in 2014, her amazing story continues to inspire others.
