ARDMORE, OK -- Around Christmas we hear a lot about faith. But one local dog is giving that word a whole new meaning with her message of hope. Tuesday, as she celebrates her seventh birthday, the Ardmore family's pet shows us that overcoming obstacles is possible, if you just have faith.

In one of the most incredible stories of 2009, Faith, a dog born with only two legs, learns to walk standing upright. Last weekend, Faith visited McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis in Washington State-- where she was an inspiration to soldiers coming home from and going to war.

Associated Press writer Sue Manning wrote this article titled Two-legged dog gives hope to disabled Army vets

It is on the AP wire, Yahoo! News, MSNBC and Faith can also be found on Social Networks like Twitter and Facebook

Citrus Daily published a YouTube video by the Associated Press

Spend some time with Faith the Dog, who walks using the only two legs she has.

Faith's owners say their animal offers inspiration for all, including military families who may have loved ones injured by conflict.

Thank you Sue Manning and Manuel Valdez of the Associated Press for interviewing me, and for coming out to Seattle (Manuel) to video Faith in her element.  We are truly blessed to be a part of the news coverage this holiday season  (The story breaks December 16 worldwide) - -  calling Faith's work a miracle and being so kind as to let the world know she is working hard to see as many soldiers as she can means a great deal to us.  Faith's new book "FAITH WALKS" will be out around this time next year  - - currently it is being marketed by our agent Ken Atchity of Atchity Entertainment International to many of the larger publishers such as Random House, Harper Collins, Penguin, Touchstone and Simon Schuster - - to be honest with you it hasn't been picked up just yet, but we feel that the love shown to Faith through the hundreds of newspapers and television stations who have already picked up the AP story - - that a publisher will soon welcome the book into their 2010 fold and you the reader will be treated to a unique and interesting book written in Faith's own quirky perspective.  You have to know she sees things from her own point of view at times.  Seattle based author Rudy Yuly and I are doing our best to capture Faith's stories as she relates them to us -- we're sure to find a few "dogged" details to be tongue-waggingly surprising - - it's just the way this dog is. 

WITH GLAD HEARTS and songs of praise - - THANK YOU Associated Press for your love and genuine support of all Faith is trying to do for the world -- her message is just too important not to be told world wide.  For more information on what Faith is doing RIGHT NOW please go to www.boardthefaithtrain.com and see for yourself how much fun this little dog really can be!!
