Faith the Dog at Laurel Canyon Park

I came across Faith and her owner while at Laurel Canyon Park in Los Angeles when I was filming my dog. This was Faith's first time at a major public dog park.

Dear Faith,

you're such a brave little dog.

And to your owners..thank you for being such wonderful people to have kept her!

I love Faith........and have it!! I agree that all mankind should be inspired by this incredible pup!! She is unbelievable.. .....unless you see this video!! She is a kindred spirit! Hopefully, all that are viewing this are kind to animals!

Check out First Person Faith the Dog inspires on two legs. The owner said many vets had checked this dog out. The dog's muscles have adapted since she first started walking like this. Whether or not a grown dog disabled later in life would have issues, this dog does not. Just as people born without legs walk on their hands, your body grows and adapts. Just as working out or training allows your body to do things others' can't...

@nikigurl08 in one of the videos a vet says that her body like formed to walk like this

@MsKenzie999 But the thing is a dog isn't designed to walk on two legs. For her to constantely be up on two legs has got to be stressful on the joints. And jus because a dog doesn't show their in pain doesn't mean they aren't! dogs hide there pain. Yea its cute and all but medically im sure this isn't good on the stifle joints or the spine being curved over.

@nikigurl08 nope but i am very good friends with the owner and i see faith quite a bit

[nikigurl08]

@MsKenzie999 Well maybe they shouldnt have her around all them dogs than or have her around smaller dogs I mean if one of them dogs knocked her over that could seriously injure her!! And how do u kno if this is stress on the spine are you her vet?

[MsKenzie999]

@CheerGurl4eva1 WHY!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsKenzie999]

@nikigurl08 this does not hurt faith at all

[MsKenzie999]
