Faith runs through the park. Born without front legs to a junkyard dog around Christmas 2002, Faith the puppy was rejected and abused by her mother. (Anthony M. Tortoriello / Associated Press)
At first the family caring for Faith had to carry her to keep her off her chest and chin. But with peanut butter and practice, Faith learned to walk on her two hind legs. (Anthony M. Tortoriello / Associated Press)
Since March 22, 2003, Faith has done the talk show circuit, gone on tour with Ozzy Osbourne and been named an honorary Army sergeant. Jude Stringfellow has become a motivational speaker, written two books about Faith and is working on a third, “Faith Walks.” (Anthony M. Tortoriello / Associated Press)

For many, Faith brings a powerful message about overcoming adversity. “Faith has shown me that different is beautiful, that it is not the body you are in but the soul that you have,” Jill Salomon of Montreal, Canada, wrote on Faith’s Web site. (Anthony M. Tortoriello / Associated Press)
