Speedy dog shows that lasers aren't just fun for cats

Faith is a beautiful soul who has found her forever home at the Black Dog Farm and Rescue in Texas. She loves her new life in this wonderful place full of affection and stimulation and she has never felt so free as she does. Her joy at running full speed around the yard and through the pastures is obvious.
Faith will chase a ball, a stick, or her humans as long as they will play with her. Seemingly tireless, she is at her happiest when she is showing off her speed and agility. Of course, her family cannot run nearly as fast or as long as Faith can, so they became very imaginative with new ways to challenge her and keep her entertained. One way to give her exercise is to use the laser on the grass. She will chase it and try to catch it, but she also tries to race ahead of it as if to show the laser that she is faster. Perhaps she believes that the laser is up for a game of trying to catch her. She circles the yard, cuts corners, snaps at the light and sometimes seems to be enjoying victory as she passes it. Faith is a very clever dog and it's even possible that she knows this is a game for her humans and this is all just her playing along.
Faith came to the Black Dog Farm like most of the animals here. She was unwanted and she had been wandering, begging for food. A family recognized that she was a stray and they fed her, wanting to help her. But all they could provide her was a little lean-to shelter. They realized that Faith was pregnant and they called Black Rog Farm and Rescue to do what they could. Jennifer and Jim arrived, expecting a skittish dog who would shy away from people. Somehow, Jennifer and Faith connected instantly and she hopped into the truck and right into the kennel without any coaxing.
Three miles down the road, Jim stopped the truck. Jennifer put Faith on her lap for the rest of the trip and the two bonded completely on the ride home. Jennifer's lap is now one of Faith's favourite places to be.
Faith had her pups but she was in severe distress throughout the pregnancy, losing weight and struggling to keep food down. The veterinarians ran endless tests but they could not diagnose her issues.
Jennifer stayed with her almost 24 hours a day. Neither she, nor Faith would give up. Faith had her puppies and still continued to lose weight, but she nursed those pups like a devoted mother. Somehow, they found the right combination of medications and Faith responded to the treatments. She began gaining weight and she and her puppies thrived.
All pups found wonderful homes and Faith also found hers. She suffers from anxiety when she isn't near Jennifer and she likely cannot be placed anywhere without it being too hard for her. But she is loved and adored at this sanctuary, and she fits in beautifully, getting all the love and attention that a dog deserves. Her second life has more than enough happiness to make up for the first one. This incredible sanctuary takes in the most needy and the most desperate cases, and often those in need of medical attention that their owners cannot or will not fund. Many of the animals here start out "broken". But after they mend or heal, and become the beautiful souls that they were meant to be, they find their way to carefully selected forever homes. Some will stay here forever, like Faith, living where they can get the care that might not be possible elsewhere. And a few actually "work" here, serving as a welcoming committee and mentor for the animals that are needing reassurance and support from their own kind.
Black Dog Farm performs miracles almost every day and they are grateful for any support that is offered to help them continue their work. Please follow them on Rumble, YouTube, and Facebook and see the updates and the antics. And please feel free to sponsor an animal or help them with their costs.
