Faith initially ‘belonged’ to a security guard who was working at one of the factories in the Sin Ming area. He kept her for company but never cared for her. In Sept of 2003, we were alerted by an employee there, that Faith had ‘trouble walking and was limping’.
We found Faith lying in a filthy corner, her front right leg in a terrible state, with the bone already broken and jutting out and festering. Faith was rushed to the vet, but the initial diagnosis was not good … the vet said the leg most likely had to be amputated as it looked terribly infected.
Miraculously after a week of treatment, the wound got better and eventually got to the point where amputation was not required ! However, she would forever walk with a limp... With her common looks and a limp, we knew adoption was next to impossible, but her wonderfully friendly nature was to produce a second miracle.
On the day that she was due to be discharged, the vet having found Faith to be such a good natured, friendly and undemanding dog decided that she would adopt her!
And truly, what a wonderful character she is ! Always time for a wag, a shake of her paw, and a wet lick, she just melts your heart. And Faith now called Lazy continues to share her love by being ASD’s Touch and Talk Therapy dog at the Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital!
