Dogs need 4 legs to walk…or do they?
Well most of them do, but not wonder dog Faith. She was born with deformities, she only had one front leg and it had to be removed when she was 7 months because it was starting to atrophy. But thanks to the care of her adoptive owners Faith managed to survive and grow into an amazing dog. She learned to move by using only her 2 remaining legs, but, according to her owners although it was a very difficult process, it was also natural.
Faith has become a star and her owners have started the With Little Faith Foundation and they travel along with their pet, spreading their faith and God’s love to as many as they can. Here’s Faith’s official site.

i almost cried
poor dear

March 31, 2008
nothing says gods love like an animal that the good lord in all his love choose to be a deformed cripple……
April 2, 2008
i hate you saps its just cool that the dog keeps on going
April 2, 2008
that is one of the coolst things i have seen. im glad that someone out there didnt look at this dog and say “it has 2 legs, just pit it down” instead they said “this dog has 2 legs, i want to take it home with me.”
girl in 7th pic in white hollister is soo gorgeous.
April 2, 2008
Yes Rosa, cause god hates people and animals, thats why he makes them suffer so.
Why would you worship such a cruel god?
April 2, 2008
…what on earth is “b” talking about?
P.S. EVOLUTION = HAX0RZ, JESUS+DINOSAURS FTW?
P.P.S. ROFL PHOTOSHOPPED LMFAO
April 2, 2008
OMFG. Photoshopped.
April 2, 2008
This is truly remarkable. But I feel uncomfortable with Faith’s website. Her owner has to stop giving credit to Jesus and give credit to the dog and the family. Jesus had nothing to do with Faith’s success. Faith’s determination and the perseverance of the people who love her are the only reason she can walk on two legs… I don’t see Jesus anywhere in the equation.
April 2, 2008
Faith is an amazing dog. There is a reason that Dog spelled backwards is God!
April 2, 2008
Photoshopped??? Damn, every day I’m in the internet I feel more scared for our future. Peter, you are an idiot and b, God has nothing to do with a crippled dog. I think I need to consider moving out of this country before morons like you reach puberty.
April 2, 2008
Well! That is the sweetest dog I’ve ever seen. He sure didn’t let a deficiency keep him down did he? He got up and learned to walk on his hind legs! Nobody should ever mistreat dogs. They’re better people than we are.
April 2, 2008
lol at Peter
“OMFG. Photoshopped.”
what a dumb ass. this is as real as it can get. do your research before claiming that it is fake. this dog has been on the net for a very long time.
April 2, 2008
Connection to God is what now?
April 2, 2008
not photoshopped. There have been news stories about this dog. http://www.faiththedog.net/
April 2, 2008
Quite funny… How does it eat? I dare say a normal dog dish is out of the question… unless the dog burrows into it nose first. Almost any normal dog function would be impossible. Running? nope. Marking territory? haha no. Taking a dump would be a feat.
Also, a dog standing like that would lose its balance quickly. They have too small of feet to support them and help them balance, plus their structure would make them front-heavy - with no way of catching themselves when they fall. How would it get upright in the first place? Try laying down on your belly and then getting up just using your legs - no arms for balance or pushing off, anything. Then restrict your legs like a dog’s would be (forward about 5 degrees) and try it. Hard?
I’d say it’s most likely a photoshop job…
April 2, 2008
Er… On that last part, sitting down human-style would also be out of the question…
April 2, 2008
Peter, your comment made me laugh because that’s what I think when I see a LOT of stuff on the internet. But I’ve seen video of this dog, and she’s truly amazing. More inspirational than most people who think they are inspirational.
April 2, 2008
holy shit, the chick in the 7th pic IS fuckin gorgeous.
April 2, 2008
OMFGPHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
What horrible owners, they should be shot, imagine the pain that dog is going through with having to walk on its back two legs. Dogs aren’t supposed to walk like that, not good for their spine.
P.S.: To everyone that believes the people that said it was a photoshop really meant it, you guys are morons. No matter what you post, someone out there is stupid enough to take you seriously. I hate people that take everything people say seriously. And no, god had nothing to do with this. It was the love of the family and the determination of the dog. Hopefully that dog lives a long life, and thumbs up to the family that raised it, faith looks like a very happy dog.
April 2, 2008
Yeah, I really wonder what god has to with a dog that can walk with 2 legs. Amazing, but its just absolutely retarded to credit jesus/god for anything… ha
April 2, 2008
This is TOTALLY FAKE… FAKE… FAKE!!!!
This is a professional Acting dog.
It’s all photoshopped.
IT”S TOTALLY FAKE
This dog get paid big buck to FAKE this.
He knows how to fool everyone with his Photoshop Expert human partner.
I hear the dog can’t stop smoking cigarettes.
That’s right, he even has the dexterity in his front paw to smoke cigarettes. YOU PEOPLE ARE SO FOOLED.
Cigaretes will kill ya man…poor dog.
Tim
April 2, 2008
Totally photoshopped.
April 2, 2008
Great dog, but what does it have to do with God? Unless the point is how much god hates dogs. (That’s what Muslims claim.)
April 2, 2008
And you, anon are an ignorant fool for thinking the internet isn’t full of moronic people that would think something like this is photoshopped. Sorry, sarcasm doesn’t work very well on the internet, so i’m forced to believe those guys that claimed this was photoshopped are among the millions of other morons on the internet.
Faith is an awesome dog, she has adapted extremely well to her unfortunate disability and from everything i’ve seen of her, she is loving life, and all of the attention, as all dogs do.
April 2, 2008
I think “OMG. Photoshopped.” was a joke. A little callous, but funny.
Kudos to the dog. I think if it was human it would say what most people born that way would say. “This is just what I am. It’s not like I spent a lifetime one way and then had to adapt.”
Anyway, cool dog, cool people for not putting it down, despite their Jesusness.
April 2, 2008
This is in no way photoshopped, those are genuine pictures of a bipedal dog. You really think there aren’t two legged dogs in the world? You must not get around much. I’ve seen footage of this very dog. Check it out for yourselves:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yYhzOxSUCA4&feature=related
No, god did not make this dog the way it is. God is merely a human delusion, a perverted excuse to explain what we do not know, thus eliminating the search for how things work and seeking real answers. No perfect god would create such grotesque deformities. This is an example of stupid design, not intelligent design. We no longer need anthropomorphic beings interfering with our lives. We have science to explain how things work.
April 2, 2008
Some of you are full of ignorance. This does not HURT the dog or put him in any sort of pain. If it did, do you think he’d be doing it? Of course not! Do you see them forcing him to walk like that? No! He’s doing it voluntarily. So quit with the animal cruelty B.S.
April 2, 2008
Photoshopped my ass. This dog is real. Amazing.
April 2, 2008
Too bad the lil thing didn’t die then I could say Think of it as evolution in action. Yay having fun at the expense of cripples.
April 2, 2008
Half of me says: This is really interesting from an evolutionary perspective.
The other half says: that shit is creepy…
April 2, 2008
This dog has 4 legs !!!!
HOW STUPID ARE YOU JESUS PEOPLE?
It its trained by it’s cruel ADOBE CERTIFIED EXPERT - PHOTOSHOP owner to hop around on it’s hind legs.
The front legs are PHOTOSHOPPED off of the DOG.
The DOG is now an Alcholic and Chain smoker because of this - and because of YOU…..that’s right YOU… the idiot VIEWER….who encorages the sick twisted PHOTOSHOP EXPERT owner to make it perform like this.
YOU ARE SICK!!!
Tim
April 2, 2008
What are you people talking about? God didn’t have it out for this dog, nothing is ever perfect (some things a little more than others) and it isn’t God’s fault. You people, I swear. You want to blame God for everything but then discount him like He doesn’t exist. -.- Just because that last part isn’t quoted anywhere here, you know it’s true 9 times out of 10.
Why would anyone feel sorry for this dog? It seems to me like he has a great family, and a really happy existence. The dog is probably used to being bi-pedal and isn’t insecure (like humans tend to be). That dog is an inspiration, and shame on all of you that are being nasty in this thread.
April 2, 2008
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!
And kill everyone on the internet from the midwest and the south.
April 2, 2008
actually I saw this dog on a tv show…would kind of be hard to edit frame by frame of dog legs. It’s real people.
April 2, 2008
First of all, the perv that said the girl in the hollister tee sucks. You can barely see her face, she’s just skinny.
Second, that dog is amazingly awesome and you can totally tell that she/he is having a great life and has amazing owners!
April 2, 2008
Wouldn’t it be spelled bi-ped and not biped? When I first saw your spelling I thought you meant it to be pronounced byp-ed. Just a thought.
April 2, 2008
I wonder if that kid in the last pic thinks the dog is a fuzzy t-rex.
April 2, 2008
I am a huge animal lover and i think this dog is amazing. When you love animal so much and you get attached to him or her they become a part of your soul. I almost cried b/c the dog is amazing. I know she has alot of love. I believe she has a great life and is not in pain she is like every living creature she wants to live and she has adapted to her surroundings.
April 2, 2008
haha its not the work of God at all
if “god” had a say in this, the dog would have never had a problem
in fact, NO deformities would ever happen, because he “loves us all” according to you
this dog is a miracle of nature, a trademark of life’s natural resiliency
not the push of some artificial force that a historically undocumented holy man made
April 2, 2008
No this is real. The dog was on Montel.
The dog is amazing. The woman seems crazy, but she does apparently take good care of the dog. There’s even a book.
April 2, 2008
This is adorable. Similar story here in Oregon about a pup who was born with no front arms. Had a fund raiser to get him a wheel chair to help get him around without always hoping around.
April 2, 2008
Here’s the link for the video of the dog on Montel…

EVOLVE OR DIE!
April 3, 2008
all you humanists and animal lovers go and fuck yourselves. I have been crippled for 18 years and noone gives a crap so why would I care about this dog? I am stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life because I am a quad. That dog got his front legs clipped and learned to adapt. I had all my extremeties clipped and I adapt. Any tears for me? I didn’t think so…so who gives a f*u*c*k about that dog
April 3, 2008
and anon? synonymous with moron…that IS a real dog you f_u_cking moron.

oh…and Tim…moron…do some research…whats the dogs name again? faith idiot. Now photoshop this asshole …

tell me thats fake timmo
And chrissy? God is dead. So how can he save us now! If there were such a thing as God and Jesus, I wouldn’t be where I am now!
April 3, 2008
What? So God looked down one day and was like, “I’m going to get rid of this dog’s legs.” Just like God looks down every day and says, “Okay, you and you and you and you are all getting in a fatal car accident today. And there will be a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean that will kill a hundred thousand people.”
If God is real, he’s a douche.
April 3, 2008
I’m also wondering about strain on the dog’s back, although I think a veterinarian would tell her owners if they were being inhumane.
If it’s a crazy hoax/Photoshop, what’s the big deal? An inspiration is an inspiration.
As long as the website isn’t not a scam to “Pay money for my sick dog!!!”, then I don’t think it matters if it’s a ’shop or not. [for some reason her site doesn’t work in my browser.]
Side note: why does the internet bring out the name-calling in people? I really don’t get it.
April 3, 2008
In that second picture the dog is quite clearly staring at that persons ass. Now, although it\’s actually a woman, it looks so much like a man that the dog must have thought it was a man. This makes the dog a fag dog. This is almost certainly why god crippled it.
April 3, 2008
Great! Soon the dog will be talking and making deals with the farmers. Is this really what we need?
April 3, 2008
LOL Not Photoshopped. Saw Faith on the news. You can cry “PHOTOSHOPPED!” all you want, but it’s just proving how much about photoshop you (You= Peter, Henry, and I can’t tell but maybe Tim too) really don’t know…which I’m guessing is nothing.
April 3, 2008
You people defending ‘god’ make me sick. Like ‘b’ said: “nothing says gods love like an animal that the good lord in all his love choose to be a deformed cripple……” Hey, lets talk about all the Americans god DIDN’T save on 9/11/01. Let’s talk about all the wars waged ‘in gods name.’ Let’s talk about the little 11 year old girl whose parents let die because they’d rather pray than take her to a hospital.
There is no god, get over it. Stop blaming your failures on someone else or thanking them for your successes. There is no god. What makes you think you’re any more special than any of the other creatures that evolved on this planet which orbits some random star in some random galaxy in no particular part of the universe? I laugh at the idea you count yourselves part of ‘intelligent’ life.
April 3, 2008
aww i remember this dog she was on ripleys believe it or not i think… she can only walk like a few feet at a time though i think they failed to mention that
April 3, 2008
There are some bitter people posting here…saying there’s no God, but angry at him all the same. You can’t blame him for something WE did! Folks, at least understand the Christian world view:
Humanity walked away from God and the world became broken because of it. Have you ever wondered why a human is the noblest of creatures, yet does the most ignoble things? We’re guilty and we need a Savior.
A picture of a deformed dog, amazingly, causes a discussion about God! It’s written on our hearts to think about God (whether for him or against him) when we see such things.

I’m gonna be a quarterback when I grow up. I’m gonna throw for 2000 yards.
April 3, 2008
To the people who are arguing that it is not photoshoped.. no shit… It is a joke that people use to get a laugh. THe dog just adapted as humans have to our surroundings. I mean he is not going to push his head around on the ground pushing with his back legs. People with no legs can walk with their hands.
God has nothing to do with it. Either the dog was crippled at birth or a bus had something to do with it. It is what it is. My money is that the mother dog was on crack, giving birth to a crippled dog, and the dog was taught by circus folk and carnies, then PETA came along and took the dog to show how amazing a dog is.

Its a man in a dog suit
April 3, 2008
the dog was on fucking Oprah, and I want to bang her in the butt really hard. so, the picture’s gotta be real.
April 3, 2008
wow, griven. you sound kinda bitter. people are amazed by the dog because she learned how to do something that most dogs can’t. hate to be a bitch, but it sounds like you’re wallowing in self-pity. nobody likes that.
anyway, very cool dog. i do have to question whether she’s in pain or not, even humans have back pain from walking upright. but still, a pretty amazing feat and she’s apparently living a nice, full life. good job, doggie.
April 3, 2008
People,
let’s think about why we like this dog. Or, why we dislike the comments made about human pursuits other than that of animal love. i think we like this dog partly because of it’s pseudo-ability to resemble a biped [human] and therefore bring it closer to our relative consciousness combined with our love of anthropomorphic beings/ images- Mickey/ Mortimer Mouse/ Donald Duck/ Goofy/ Tom/ Jerry etc.
God has no meaning in this, or any other act of nature whereby it has eliminated a harmful attribute in the being’s make-up; thereby rendering it, in this case, without two front legs. Without two front legs, by default, it has had to stand tall - much like a blind person has to feel for images and other deformities, large or small compensate due to our much maligned interference.
Unless you have proof that God (whoever he/she/it is) has told you directly, and; the artist has come forward contesting ownership of ‘Photoshopping’ the images, please just watch, make your own minds up and post thoughtful and concise comments.
Until such a time will the God Squad and the “Fail” community please abstain from breathing further life into each corner. We need less misguided fools on this planet.
Cheers.
April 3, 2008
I heard the dog was gay and that’s why Jesus took his front legs away.
April 3, 2008
It is hard to believe what a few pictures of a dog can draw out of some people.
In two words, ‘utter drivel’!
April 3, 2008
In my opinion, religion has no place in a modern society. I believe that all people should evaluate statements in a scientific manner and that religious beliefs should be replaced with rational thought.
Religion has come and go in years past–the Greeks believed in Zeus and the others atop Mt. Olympus in just the same way as Christians, Muslims, and Jews believe in their God(s). Why do we dismiss these gods? Because they are silly.
If humans as a species are to progress, I surmise that we must give up these irrational barriers or be thrust into the era of the cavemen once again.
April 3, 2008
Did this make anyone else think of Animal Farm?
April 3, 2008
somebody didnt have their wheaties today. lol at the gay comment . and ummmm greivn wtf. I thought u were a quadriplegic, did u use ur nose to type this response?
April 3, 2008
oh crap i forgot are you gay, maybe tahts why god took all your limbs away? just a thought for ya.
April 4, 2008
I had a dog once that walked on its front legs with its butt up in the air.
April 4, 2008
i bet itś just a dwarf in a costume..

Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to use special devices or occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute an image.
When all you look at is your religion, all you see is your religion. Open your eyes folks.
I see a truly amazing dog, no matter what the religious freaks or non-believers see.
Jesus never used photoshop! Dogs don;t use photoshop!
Will I burn in hell because I use photoshop? Danm not again!
I should cut off my front paws to resist using photoshop!
-B$
April 5, 2008
Dear christ you people are arseholes. whatever about the dog being let live there are folks here who deserve a good kick in the hole and possibly a bullet in the head. for those of you who believe it’s photoshopped, santa claus says hello and the easter bunny was wondering if he could pop round for a cup of coffee later on. religion? what has religion got to do with biology, it’s a fact that the dog was born deformed and unlike other animals she was brought up to live as normal a life as possible. do you dipshits think that everything you see on the web is photoshopped? god help future generations if any of you decide to spawn.
April 6, 2008
This is a very interesting article and the photos are quite cute. If the dog is in pain and wants to die, that certainly is not showing here. Frankly I think that if she is in any pain, she just deals with it like an animal does–without feeling sorry for herself, or bitter because of her situation. *ahem*
As for her owners’ choice to use the dog as a demonstration of the power of their religious beliefs, I don’t have a problem with that and don’t understand why anyone else would.
With any luck our civilization will manage to hang on to its value of liberty. Free human beings can believe in whatever they choose and worship whatever they want to. They can also waste their entire day trolling a web site if they want, which is totally fine with me because it keeps them off the streets while I’m out there having a good time. Everyone’s a winner. Yours in Chaos, Scarlett
April 6, 2008
What a lovely, fantastic dog. Hope she stays happy and lives a long life full of fun

April 6, 2008
thats amazing how can it do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 6, 2008
This is bad, very bad. This is natural selection and we don’t even realize it. In the wild, such an animal would be dead within the day. In our wild, it is praised and will go on to have offspring. This dog will pass it’s ability to walk onto it’s offspring. It’s only a matter of time before they start using tools and then they are at war with us.
April 6, 2008
It is inspiring that a animal with such a disabillity keeps going, adapted to his situation.
April 6, 2008
Some animals are more equal than others.

Its a dog, how cares, Get a life

Or who even
April 6, 2008
The first time I saw this dog on Video my heart just felt so wonderful. Seeing this dog made me feel like we all can do the best with what the “cards” have dealt us. This dog Faith is such a blessing to see and read about. What a beautiful precious pet. I would really love to see her in person.
We notice from other postings some people are born deformed in the heart.
God Bless you the people who took her in and gave her a life. I bet she has given you back so much more in love and friendship.
April 7, 2008
If I saw that thing I’d shoot it. it is not in GOD’S PLAN to have mutant creatures spoiling HIS plan. Any animal not fit to live should be killed. Any creature not perfect should be removed - it is the only way to prepare the earth for JESUS’ glorious return.
April 7, 2008
Another animal must be modified to bleach our sight.
April 7, 2008
El perro es real. Pensar que el hecho de tener o tener ciertas extremidades, creo que, debería verse mas como una cuestión evolutiva en lugar de verlo como una discapacidad. De cualquier forma. Comentarios negativos y positivos los vamos a encontrar siempre argumentos reales y falsos de igual forma. sin embargo estamos en foros de “OPINION” no en foros de discusión. Por otra parte y con respecto a la opinión teológica yo creo que si Dios existe algo tuve que ver en esto y si Dios no existe entonces no tuvo nada que ver; creo que el nombre de “Faith” en el perro es algo totalmente positivo por que a veces lo que a este mundo le falta es precisamente eso: Fé!!
Me despido y sigan peleando.
If I read all your comments in english, u at least must be read ONE in spanish. Thank You.
April 7, 2008
it just goes to show that any kind of adaptation can occur given the right (well, not “right”, because that’s implying that a dog with two legs is “right” o.0) conditions. Maybe early humans lost their front legs at some point…then…grew them back…
Maybe not.
April 7, 2008
what’s perhaps more disturbing about this page than the jesus dog with only 2 limbs is the amount of people who took the photoshop comment seriously.
April 7, 2008
Yeah, sure, it’s photoshopped. THAT’S why I’ve been to one of these presentations with Faith. I wasn’t aware you could photoshop real life! Hell, if that works, give me a clone stamp for my zits and a liquify tool for my fat!
April 7, 2008
Dear God,
I hate these people!
Love,
Satan
P.S. That dog appears to have more drive and intelligence then half the people that have posted comments… Please castrate them so they cannot procreate. GOD BLESS!
April 7, 2008
This story is not inspirational, because that would require a conscious decision on the part of the dog to “carry on” despite a lack of front legs. It is inspirational when a person makes this kind of choice, but the dog doesn’t know any better.
Fascinating that this turned into a religious discussion. Anyone who thinks God’s plan is for us all to be happy and perfect is deluded. Suffering happens because we are jerks, not because God is. Don’t ask why God allows suffering to happen; ask why you allow it to happen.
April 7, 2008
My farts stink.
April 8, 2008
Killing off all imperfect animals? Wow… I’m not going to say anything more about it than that.
The dog is cool. I wonder how it craps though. It can’t really squat… I’d love to have a biped Moose. Can you imagine THAT thing walking around with you? “Hey guys look at Faith the biped dog!!” “Oh yeah? Check out Kent my biped moose.” Sounds like a good companion to me…
April 9, 2008
Wow thats the saddest and cutest thing ive seen all day.
Its amazing that the dog has adapted to a major d
