Faith is an incredible dog. She was born just before Christmas in 2002, and we were lucky enough to have her in our family just 3 short weeks later. She was born to a mother dog, believed to be nearly full blooded Chinese Chow Chow, along with several other siblings. Faith wasn't the only puppy born with deformities, but because "Princess", her mother, was not our dog, we are not sure of the exact number of puppies she gave birth to. It is certain, however, that Faith was the only puppy with deformities to live.

Faith was rescued by my son Reuben on January 21, 2003, when he and his friend Johnny, the owner of Princess, jumped over the fence of the flea market area that Princess was raised to guard. Princess isn't exactly the mothering kind. She was literally terminating Faith's life because she knew instinctively that Faith was unable to battle the other puppies for a place to feed. Faith was weak, small, runtish, and mostly she was nearly dead. Reuben grabbed Faith out from under Princess and smuggled her under his jersey. He wore #63 for the Putnam City Pirates football team.

When Reuben brought Faith to us she had 3 actual legs, but the left front leg was badly deformed, placed backward, upside down, and it had more toes on it than normal dog legs. The leg was removed when she was 7 months old when it began to atrophy. People ask me if it was easy to teach Faith to walk upright...the answer is NO! It was not easy, and it was not natural. It was SUPER natural, and therefore, we have to give all of the credit to Jesus. Of course, it took a little....Faith as well.

Help The Ohio Rottweiler Rescue Group

My very good friend Gayla Frances Evans has a lot of dogs on her hands right now. She's rescuing rotty-pups, terriers, you name it, and she's out there saving it. She rescues cats too, and other animals, not just dogs.

She needs your help with donations for surgeries not only for spay and neutering but for those that have been abandoned, hurt, maimed, and/or injured. She's up to her elbows in vet bills and not really asking that many people for help.

Gayla's working hard with a group of volunteers who give their time and efforts like we all do - - but as we all know, it takes money too! The Ohio Rottweiler and Boston Terrier Rescue web site has an easy and secure PayPal donate button!

So please let others know. Rottweilers may be misunderstood sometimes, but they are some of the BEST military dogs in the world. They are loving house companions, great protectors, and they love you unconditionally. If you can help just by forwarding her group's information to your e-mail contacts, on your social sites, or Twittering...please do.

THANK YOU!!!

SUPER BOWL MANIA!!!

Jude — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:20:59 +0000

Faith and I had the best time going to the Super Bowl Village and finding friends among the 65,000+ fans who were in the village milling around, representing their favorite teams and cities. You wouldn't believe how many people petted Faith and rubbed her head while she was lazily draped over my shoulders. She interrupted a group of kids getting their photo taken with the big XLVI sign...she met a few celebrities and kissed a lot of faces. She even stole a sandwich from a kid who never saw it coming. She's that way! She was happy to see the Giants win of course, but only because Eli Manning is Peyton's brother and here in Indy it's all about the COLTS so Faith wore her little jacket and wagged her tail proudly for the BLUE. WISH-TV (CBS) interviewed us about our new book and Faith was able to sniff out a few goodies in the green room!! She loved every minute of the fun...and so did I.

Please send your charible donations to either C.A.R.E. or RAGOM, both have buttons at the top of the site with addresses. Please say you are sending it in Faith's name!!

You can also e-mail me through the BOOKING page on this site.This is the most recent photo of Faith, as you can see she's a bit older and we feel that it is in her best interest to work just one more year on the road.

Thank you to the men and women of our great country and our allies, those who keep us safe. We not only salute we, we HUG YOU!

Faith the Dog and Harry Potter

Jude — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:29:46 +0000

Faith was asked to be in the 4th movie of the Harry Potter series. I was thrilled of course, and couldn't get my mind wrapped around how we would do that since it was being filmed shortly and she was not ready to travel overseas. At the time she was not as travel-savvy as she is today and I didn't have a passport, and Faith wasn't given the overseas shots and quarantine by-pass papers, so it looked as if the idea was a bust.

Then another idea came up through the pike - - she could film here, and they could edit her in. (Have you seen the MAGIC those people do with special effects?) Anyway, time passed, the crew and production people didn't work out the details as needed, and poor Faith did not get to play the role of a lifetime: She was going to be a little dog that was created when Cedric dropped his wand in the middle of the first challenge of the Goblet of Fire. The wand hit a stone and the incantation he called out was slightly altered. FAITH was to be the alteration! Faith would have been a wonderful addition to the film and though it was not that way in the book - she would have been the star for sure! Maybe that's why they didn't go forth with the idea, they were afraid she would steal the scene! (Just saying)

Faith went her way and the great cast and crew of the Harry Potter series went their way. Today her image was sent via satellite to the crew and cast when they were at the premiere having a rest. The cast loves Faith and I was personally told by Rupert's assistant that he truly would have loved to have met Faith. She was written about in his local paper in Hertfordshire, England, and his mum is also a big fan of my little yellow dog. I am told.

EFT Workshops / Emotional Freedom Technique Fun & Fur!

Jude — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 00:09:34 +0000

Emotional Freedom Technique "The Karate Chop". This is a technique used with TAPPING or EFT work. I hope you'll join me, Jude Stringfellow, along with Faith the Dog sometimes, as we do EFT workshops around the country - - possibly the world. We're opening up our event horizons to include positive powerful workshops where I teach and train people to use their own inner spirit and being to tap into their personal strength and the strength of the universe to achieve greater goals than they may ever have imagined. Remember that FAITH is the substance of that which we can not see...it is the essence of things hoped for. Tapping (or EFT) allows you to literally cause a spring of clear and deliberate vibrations to flow from within your own being - - manifesting itself through positive power, energy, and new complete feelings of increasing confidence. Faith and I invite you to bring us to your city to do a workshop with your church, school, conference, or group - - we've been known to do a "Bark in the Park" event where guests bring their dogs and we all sit around doing a tapping event for peace, health, fun, good feelings and more. I train new tappers and old alike. We have fun, and believe it or not tapping can and will change your life! You will never be able to live without the EFT tapping once you start the process - - it's THAT great. Seriously, it's wonderful. Of course, I do these events without Faith as well - - it's up to you. For more information about EFT and the Positive Power Workshops - - visit my new site: www.positivepower.weebly.com and let me show you how you can have more, feel better, and gain the confidence you want. (Psst....it works for losing weight and attracting finances too!) Share the link with your friends - - Thank you for your love and caring support of my little girl FAITH. She as brought a new awareness and level of personal achievement to my life...let me bring it to you. It's in there! Tap it out!

An article on the Chilean web site latcetera.com from April 2010 has come to our attention:

Faith: La perrita que camina en dos patas

Al nacer, los veterinarios propusieron sacrificarla, pero su dueña se propuso enseñarle a caminar para poder vivir.

El 21 de enero del 2003 fue una fecha muy significativa para la escritora norteamericana Jude Stringfellow: aquel día, su hijo Reuben llegó a casa con una cachorra de un mes, la cual se encontraba en un estado deplorable. “Era pequeña, débil y estaba casi muerta”

Faith: The dog that walks on two legs

At birth, the veterinarians proposed euthanasia, but her owner proposed to teach to her walk for life.

January 21, 2003 was a very significant day for American writer Jude Stringfellow: that day, her son Reuben came home with a month-old puppy, which was in a deplorable state: "She was small, weak and was almost dead."
