I am inspired by dogs.
They are not perfect creatures. One of ours has apparently taken to chewing the curtains.
But they imbue each day with an endless sense of the possible. And given one percent of an opportunity, they will take you along for the ride to joy.
They are resilient, optimistic, and forgiving. And they spend much more time trying, than they do feeling sorry for themselves.
Traits common to a better business and a better life.
In an email from my mother-in-law yesterday, I was introduced to Faith.
This is her story.
I am inspired by dogs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is 'Faith' 
This dog was born on Christmas Eve, 2002. She was born with only two rear legs. She of course could not walk when she was born. Even her mother did not want her.
Her first owner also did not think that she could survive and he was thinking of 'putting her to sleep'.
But then, her present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met her and wanted to take care of her .
She became determined to teach and train her to walk by herself.
She named her 'Faith'. 
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let her feel the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward
for her for standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dog at home encouraged her to walk.
Amazingly, only after six months, like a miracle,
Faith learned to balance on her hind legs and jump to move forward.
After further training in snow, she could now walk like a human being. 
Faith loves to walk around now.
No matter where she goes, she attracts people to her . 
She is fast becoming famous on the international scene and
has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being published about her . 
Her owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take her around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect 'soul'. 
In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better
you just need to look at life from another direction.
I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will be thankful for each beautiful day.
Faith is a continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life .
