Two-Legged Dog to Inspire British Troops Wounded in Afghanistan

[QUOTE]There are some things you have to see to believe, and Faith is one of those. She's a labrador-chow mix born without one front leg and another that was severely deformed, only to be removed when Faith was seven months old due to atrophy. What's truly amazing about Faith is that, despite having only her two hind legs, she can still walk on them, as you can see in the video below.
Faith is something of a celebrity, having appeared on Oprah a few years ago, and according to The Sun, she's actually an honorary sergeant. The US Army gave her that title because she's helped disabled veterans trying to overcome injuries they sustained in war zones, even donning a military jacket when she visits bases or hospitals. As her owner, Jude Stringfellow, was quoted, "Faith seems to inspire these young men. It's very emotional watching them respond to her. She shows what can be achieved against great odds."
Now, she's planning to go international. Stringfellow wants to bring Faith to the UK, so she can bring her own brand of inspiration to those troops wounded in Afghanistan. Before she can do so, though, quarantine rules will have to be met. For the sake of those wounded soldiers, let's hope they have the chance to see Faith "marching" their way.[/QUOTE]

she'll kill any terrorist she sees with her two-legged walk
just like that
He's like an adorable dog-worm thing. Kinda creepy, yet cute.
It's just a dog with two legs. There's nothing inspirational or brave to it, it's just people trying to find meaning in this mundane story.

It's a dog with two legs that fucking walks upright.

Also I spot a hipster at the very start of that video :v:
Well this takes the biscuit for last things I'd wanna see in a dark alleyway.
Holy shit that dog is walking like a person.
I feel so bad for laughing in the beginning of the video
Wow, that dog can walk on two legs...I AM INSPIRED TO DO THAT MYSELF
Joke all you like, I think this is kind of "d'awww" worthy.
I think the meaning behind this that some of you arent getting is the fact people would say thats its physiclly impossible for a dog to walk with only 2 legs, but this shows that anyone is capable of anything.
And I think its inspiring to those who have felt they have lost their abilitys due to losing a limb.
Its not insipring to those who havent lost anything because your not in the same situation.

I'm pretty sure she's punk, not hipster. Hipsters don't generally look like they could kick your ass.
I was waiting for the faceplant but nothing...
Looks so fuckin' goofy.
It'll be nice to see something to help these soldiers get back on their feet.
That dog is gonna have severe displasia when it is older.
Give it bionic arms and strap a gun to it.
Send it into the field to capture feral afghan dogs.
The ultimate counter insurgents :clint:
Is it bad that I laughed?
That was adorable, but I laughed my ass off when he stood up.
