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 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. </P></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">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. </div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/dog/" rel="tag">dog</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/pets/" rel="tag">pets</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/animals/" rel="tag">animals</a>, <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/faith+the+dog/" rel="tag">faith the dog</a></div>http://www.faiththedog.net/Tue, 01 Apr 2008 09:27:05 GMT
