On Saturday, children at the University of Missouri Women’s and Children’s Hospital were treated to a visit from a dog whose story offers hope to all. Faith was born with a a deformed left leg and no right leg at all. Her left leg was eventually amputated. A vet suggested that the dog be euthanized, but Reuben Stringfellow rescued the dog. At first, the dog could only drag herself around, but she persevered and learned how to walk on her hind legs.

“Faith is so inspirational,” she said. “It’s amazing to see an animal persevere without knowing the obstacles.”
