I was just about to start in on my second hanky when I read, "Faith has done the talk show circuit, gone on tour with Ozzy Osbourne and been named an honorary army sergeant."
Very inspiring story, thank you! Now that I finally got the front legs off all the dogs, couple quick questions: 1) Are there any special upright walking practice exercises we should know? 2) Where does the peanut butter go again?
Please tell me that at least one of you is also howling with laughter at "She was depressed and had lost both legs to diabetes." And when you're done telling me, can you also explain why it's so damn funny?
Look at those pictures: Faith is clearly an alien from another planet, checking us all out (hence the talk show circuit and Ozzy Osbourne tour), and getting ready to return to report back to the two-legged, dog-faced aliens who live on some distant, 375 degree planet covered in water, which has just now allowed us to "discover" it.
If between this, the voodoo child (sorry!) and the exonerated dude, you are trying to make me feel less sorry for myself, you have succeeded. (which is to say, thank you.)
Sergeant Faith in uniform is beyond adorable. I'm not posting the picture here because it will make everyone cry and no one will be able to post or comment the rest of the day.
I do not understand why teaching a dog to walk upright is anything other than novel. Also, it looks weird -- rather like how I imagined the pigs in Animal Farm. But I mean it's sweet that they didn't kill her.
Not to be a jerk, but seriously, none of you guys ever heard of Faith the Wonder Dog before? I swear I saw videos on Youtube years ago, where the owners are talking about trying to get Faith in the Harry Potter movie. You lot are normally so much more up on things.
She is like the Sarah Palin of dogs, with her visiting the troops and inspiring tears and pointing. Also watching Sarah Palin is like watching a two-legged dog walk.

Now I really feel inferior.
I find this so inspiring I'm going home to cut the front legs off my dog*.
*I don't have a dog.
Ha! No dog. For a moment there I thought you might have beaten me to the post.
I do have two cats and a turtle, so I can look into whether this trick is unique to canines.

I just love this dog, even if she is a lousy tipper.

Yes. And it's funny because we are terrible, terrible people.
Because her legs were sitting in lost and found the whole time. Duh.
Well, I thought it was funny because it applied to the dog. Then I read the article.

Or maybe Ozzy was playing the axe during the tour.
w00f w00f.
Gotta think that Faith's ass sniffing requires incredible balance.
Ha! This is the story my daughter chose to bring to school this morning as an example of "making a difference".
She summarized it thusly:
"This story is about a dog with no front hands who eats peanut butter for the soldiers."
A+
Without J-school even!
I should probably just end her education at 4th grade and call it good.
This makes me less worried about my three-legged cat who is a fan of dangerous acrobatics, since she can still afford to lose one more.
My heart grew three sizes this day.
Does it make me an asshole to say that I find this to be kind of extremely disturbing?

Is this on memegenerator, yet?

THAT DOG NEEDS A CAPE!!!
I would dress him in a straight jacket for Halloween!
Or some prosthetic t-rex arms.
Or a Berlusconi mask.
Cannot be good for her hip displatia.

This is just what Chicago needs to get over its second- city-complex.

I wonder if this is giving Cat the cat a complex?
