Sidney is a 7-year-old purebred Lab. He had his left rear leg and left lung removed because of cancer in Sept./Oct. of 2004. Sidney still does everything he always did. He is still trying to conquer going up the basement steps without help. Going down, he has no problem!!!

Faith Stringfellow is an incredible little dog, with an even more inspirational story.

See a VIDEO of Faith!

Faith suffered from a birth defect; she became a member of our family when she was just a three-week-old puppy.

My son Reuben (17) picked Faith out of a litter of puppies that his friend's dog had recently given birth to.
Several of the puppies were deformed; a few had already died.
The mother dog was actually trying to terminate Faith's life when Reuben lifted her weak body out from under the mother dog.
He brought her home to me, knowing I had a heart like a marshmallow.
Even though Faith has this defect we taught her to stand, hop, and eventually walk on her two back legs, like a human. She's been a great dog and we forget she's handicapped. You'll turn around and she's chasing the geese at the park, running, jumping, skipping, and acting like any other dog...well, any other dog with a nose reach of 40" from the ground!
(Watch your plate, she'll clean it for you, before you're ready to share.)
Faith is currently two years old; her birthday is December 22, 2002, and she stands 37" tall when she's walking.
She can walk for over a mile, if you have a turkey sandwich in your hand! She has walked great distances but usually just a block or two before she decides that you can carry her; she's rather spoiled.
