Got Faith? You Will After You Meet Faith…The Two-Legged Dog

Faith, an 8-year old labrador-chow mix, has become a frequent visitor at army bases and hospitals around the country and the world, where she inspires disabled veterans to push forward. Faith has had such an impact on the military that in 2006, she was named an honorary sergeant in the U.S. Army!
