Faith's story | Boxer Used for Breeding then Abandoned Finds Love in the End

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ม.ค. 2023
- This is our dear Faith’s story. I’ve put off posting it for a little while now. It was a bit too raw to watch back and even to be able to read through your heartfelt comments. The loss of Faith really saddened us deeply. I didn’t want to go on without her having her own story told in one place though. Her story is a very important story for people to hear.
Faith was a 4 year old pure bred Boxer used for breeding by a registered breeder. She lived her short life in a cage and was fed by machines with no human contact. Once she was of no use to the breeder she was surrendered into rescue. Whilst this may sound shocking, this is a very common scenario. There are many ethical breeders yes, but there are just as many unethical breeders out there. It is up to us as the public, to do our research thoroughly to determine who are which, if you are going to buy through a breeder. And of course adopting a rescue is a very rewarding and important path to choose. Faith was a rescue dog in the end, there are many dogs surrendered by breeders waiting to be adopted and be loved finally.
Back to Faith’s story … Faith came to the farm with her daughter Hope. Both girls were very shut down and traumatised. So much so, they fell like pancakes on the ground in the company of humans.
We discovered that they let their fears subside with the company of other dogs and were able to observe trust in humans for the first time through the dogs and their positive interactions with us.
We never forced any interactions and allowed them whatever time they needed.
Unfortunately, it was discovered that Faith had a very aggressive terminal cancer. We were devastated for her. The news came just weeks before she was to be adopted.
It just didn’t seem at all fair. So we adopted Faith into our own family. We wanted for her to feel and be adopted into a loving home, even if in her last weeks. And she did finally feel that.
Since Faith’s passing, we have also adopted her daughter Hope. Hope continues to grow in love. Slowly but surely.
We don’t want Faith’s short life to go by without stopping to think a little more about the bigger picture. If sharing Faith’s story helps inspire a few more people to research a little more, ask a few more questions or even adopt … then telling her sad story will be very worthwhile.
To all of those that followed Faith’s story from the beginning and loved her too, thank you.
Faith died in peace, knowing she was loved.
You gave her that Luke and Sam.
And we will forever be grateful to you :)
Agree..❤❤
@@estaisadore6188 Yes ❤❤
Absolutely! The power of loving kindness shines through this wonderful tribute ❤️♥️
Amen! ... Forever Grateful ♾️♥️
The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it, and a lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it"
Thank you so much for this video; Faith’s and Hope’s story needs to be broadcast far and wide. They were abused - this was not a responsible breeder. They should be charged with a crime - animal abuse. I don’t know what laws exist in Australia to address this, but surely this is illegal. Thank you, Sam & Luke, for giving Faith a glimpse of what a dog’s good life is. And, thank you for making sure Hope actually lives one. ❤
Totally agree. Hefty fines even imprisonment for abuse of animals here in Australia if found guilty but it's not enough. We don't deserve animals
Oh...we miss her...and are so grateful..to you....Luke and Sam...😊💜💜🙏🙏🙏
Extremely well said & I totally agree! Puppy Mills, regardless of Breeder status, shouldn’t be allowed to exist, imo. The majority of them are only interested in their income, not the welfare of the animal.
Speaking of breeders, I experienced something disturbing a few weeks ago. I was watching a very well -known dog show because I love dogs, but can't have one of my own due to severe health problems. When the category which featured American Staffies was introduced, the entrant was a beautiful dog that had his ears cropped. The same had been done to the boxer that was entered. I was so upset my first thought was of Miss Red and Miss Violet and Chance and Hope and Maggie and Rosco and Chopper and Tank. How beautiful they all are with those wonderful expressive ears. Why would a so-called reputable breeder do that to a glorious creature and why would this dog show not ban breeders who committ such a heinous act? Needless to say, I won't be watching anymore dog shows. I am so grateful for these videos. They have given me hours of joy and I eagerly await each one.
Absolutely agree
As heartbreaking as it is to watch this post, Faith’s story needed to be shared on here as her life mattered, and still does as she lives on through her daughter, Hope. Because of you, Sam & Luke, Faith found love and peace. 🐾🐶💜
Agree..tears
Agree so heartbreaking 😢I shed many many tears over Faith and Hope. I can’t believe people can do this to an animal.
Well said, I totally agree with you.
Well said everyone. Luke and Sam on angels just like the angels they love and care for.
I'm crying too...But Hope is comforting a little ❤️🙏
Oh beautiful Faith, she was the luckiest girl when she came into your lives. Not only did you give her love and patience, but gave her a home before she passed. Will never forget you 💔♥️
and a new last name! ❤
YES...😊❤❤👍🙏
Yes and the best last name in the world.
RIP Faith! Life was unfair to you, but you did find angels here on earth to give you a good life in the end. Bless you!👼🙏❤🐾
We rescued an elderly Irish Wolfhound from the pound. He was crippled and incontinent. His elderly homan had died and he was quickly taken away. He howled for 2 weeks. Then he realized he had been adopted into a pack. We had a female Wolfy at the time, and she took him under her wing. She even moved in with him for the entire winter on her own accord into the heated room I made them in the garage. Conner died a happy old Wolfy. And I am a much richer man. Thank you Luke and Sam for what you do. From Arizona.
Thank you too...
Well done you. You should be proud of yourself.
What an incredibly sad, but beautiful story of Conner. Thank you Dave. 🐾🐶💜
No matter how many times you see or hear about abuse done to defenseless animals, you can never feel anything but sadness and anger. I take comfort that Faith, even if it was just for a short time, found such love and affection from uncle Luke and Auntie Sam. Thanks for being the caring , lovely people you are. ❤ x x x
Agree😢
Totally agree
I agree also..
As I type this through the tears streaming down my face, thankyou Luke and Sam for showing Faith that not all humans are monsters and most of us will cherish our 4 legged babies. Faith felt loved by humans for the first time in her life and you could see just how much she appreciated everything you did for her, and I am sure she felt comfort knowing that you were going to be there and love her daughter Hope. RIP Faith, you were loved worldwide
Tearsssss streaming.....just soooo thank she felt such love...and oh how her beautiful daughter has blossomed.
Too true indeed.
Faith was so lucky to finally know what love was. Thank you all for giving her love and comfort.
😊👍💜💜
I cried through most of this video. The fear, distrust and abuse, all at the hands of humans. Then to arrive at paradise for even the short time Faith was with you, I can’t imagine their confusion. Thank you Luke and Sam for the love, patience and understanding. Sam I rejoice in Hope’s continued snuggles she comes to you for. ♥️♥️
@TheFarm-Sam what is the name of the song in Freddo’s solo video, I’ve been looking everywhere for it? The song made me cry in his video too.
@@bekiebrn Hey there - is it this one?
Flight of the Inner Bird - Yehezkel
@@TinyGalore Although I like that one now, it’s not the same one. I might not have explained the video I’m talking about clearly. It’s the video, Thank You From Freddo, posted 4 weeks ago. It starts
Every day I’m awake I’m grateful for your love.
Cuz you’re making me grateful when you’re saying I am enough.
Every night I close my eyes know that I can do anything,
when we’re together,
you know we’re better,
and we’ll run this town someday
I’ve looked up the lyrics too and nothing shows up for artist, song or band/group. The female singer is not familiar to me either. It’s such a beautiful song and fits Freddo’s video perfectly. It’s the video where he’s sitting in the arm chair and Sam is petting him. It’s a beautiful video and made me cry so much. He’s come across as such a grateful dog to the family. Thank you so much for your help.
@@TinyGalore If I can ask another question about membership too as I see your badge. Does the badge come up after a month of being a member automatically or can everyone else see it but I can’t. And lastly is there something else I need to do other than be a member, like activate or authorize the change to have it show up? I’m proud to be a member and a tad sad I can’t see the badge, but maybe others can. I’m not sure.
😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏👍
Thank you Sam for honouring Faith and her life. As hard as it is there is such an important message, beyond the reminder to do the research, to question breeders, but also to recognise the worth of each life and recognise that we owe them comfort, security and love, always. 💜
❤❤🙏
We all loved the time to witness Faith’s final months of peace with you. I can’t even begin to imagine how heavily caring for a dog that had been broken weighed on your hearts. Faith was so loved until it was time for her to go. She lives on in Hope❤❤❤. Beautiful tribute.
❤❤🙏👍
Well said.
As time went on, my introduction to Boxers was with Bandit and some of the others. Later additions were Barney, Maggie. For all of us who learned to love the Boxer Bounce, humor, enjoyment of life and kindness, seeing Hope and Faith utterly cowering was something of a huge shock but also, we subsequently cheered when a Boxer Bounce appeared, and a love of excursions, a love of treats, and at long last, a love of snuggles and some trust. All your efforts, and of the Pack, and people's prayers...it was very much "worth it".
😉😉😄😄🙏❤❤👍
Luke, beautiful job on Faith's story. It was even amazing to look back on how far Hope has progressed as well.
Something needs to be done about the over breeding of dogs worldwide.🥲🥲🥲 Luke & Sam your love and patience is amazing to watch.❤️❤️❤️
I couldn't agree more.
@@tanjowil9743 As an adult I’ve always had shelter dogs, but in the US since you can’t buy from a pet store in most states, it’s the best and practical way to get a dog. It’s kind of a gamble because you never know the dog you are getting as far as breed. My parents got dogs given to them or a shelter dog also, so I did the same. My dog now is a variety of most likely many breeds, there are very few working breed dogs in Las Vegas, NV. Most dogs are stay inside and out of the heat type dogs. Even walking them outside in the summer is a gamble with the afternoon concrete or asphalt heat levels. I can’t imagine having a working breed dog and unable to exercise it. Plus all dogs are desexed before they are adopted so as not to add to the problem. I know that’s not always the truth in other states and cities, it’s all in what a shelter can afford before adoption. I could never see myself buying from a breeder especially after seeing the shape of Hope and Faith. I know not all breeders are the same, I just can’t ever do that now. Their journey, I’m sure has changed many minds.
@@bekiebrn in Australia we still have working dogs in backyards & idiot dog owners walking their dogs in hot conditions,like yesterday it was 38° ,imagine the heat on the concrete.☺️
And here in the USA..our shelters are over flowing..of dogs and cats..in my family of 4 sons...we have all rescued...but nothing compared...to all the Evans family..God bless them.
I couldn't agree more. Every dog (and cat) should be spayed or neutered, unless there is proof that it belongs to a licensed and reputable breeder with heavy fines for those who don't (or won't) comply.
I would have loved my now 16 year old to have had puppies of her own but, as a responsible owner, I have had all mine spayed.
Where I live, on a relatively small island, the tradition was to tie the female dog up when she was on heat so, no surprises, she had no escape and often fell pregnant. This tradition is one to lose and it is changing slowly. However, any puppies in the local rescue centre are still usually from this scenario (dropped off anonymously of course).
OMG that must of been an emotional time putting that fitting video together. Tears again for the sad beginning Faith endured, but you captured perfectly, her last months living her best life. Thank you for giving her that peace, for making her comfortable, for all the delicious chicken, fun bush walks, friends, family & showing her what boxer bouncers are about. RIP Faith ❤️
❤❤
Thank you luke and Sam for giving faith her pride and dignity back and showing her unconditional love and compassion before she passed..🐾🥰🏴🐾🌈
Well said...agree
I'm typing this thru the tears. A heartfelt tribute. Thank you for giving her the home and love she always deserved.
That was a lovely tribute, Sam & Luke. Hope is almost unrecognizable now, she's so easy with her pack. I think Faith knew her girl was safe and it made it easier for her to let go.
😥😥😥😥😥
Tears....I agree.
That has been my theory too. One last mama job…get her daughter to safety. Faith did that, she knew it and could go in peace knowing Hope would be ok. 🤍🤍
I think Faith knew that too.
Lots of tears here as well. But totally agree. Faith passed away knowing her beautiful Hope was safe and happy. RIP sweet Faith Love from Ireland x
🥰😢...
What a beautiful tribute to Faith!
She was a beautiful girl...& I'm so happy she & Hope became part of The Farm Family....
Thank you for making this video!
💕
Agree
Thank you for sharing Faiths story with us! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for giving her the love she so deserved to have!❤️❤️ I so enjoy watching your videos and have tried to encourage many others to watch your amazing videos! Hugs to you all and pats to the doggies!
Me too share the channel all over...Our favorite for sure..and my 3 dogs..too.
Why even my cats watch..lol
For Faith, the Angel.
❤
Thank you 🙏
Hope and Faith came into your lives as I was adopting Henry, a purebred American foxhound that had such similar behaviors. It truly helped enormously to watch Luke and learn how to communicate and help him. After many months he has blossomed. Thank you Luke and Sam, you were there when I needed you most!
Julia - I'm so glad your Henry has blossomed. When I first saw Hope and Faith in a video months ago it reminded me so much of our two cocker/king charles cross girls adopted in late may 2009 at 5 months old (they were litter-mates). They came from a "backyard breeder" situation with little to no human contact, and were extremely fearful. It took months and months of patience and love to help them be comfortable in their own skins. They became comfortable with us in the household, but the rest of the world remained a scary place, especially the people (dogs were okay). Cayla passed in the spring of 2021, but her sister is still with us, although elderly & infirm at 14. Faith's story is so very sad. I do love seeing every little hint of Hope feeling more comfortable at the farm, especially with Luke and Sam. And of course I love ALL of the videos from the farm!!
Wow..
Awesome..God bless you...and the Evans.
So glad to hear about Henry.
I bet some (most) of those 4.000 Beagles rescued in the US not that long ago are in need of this style of rehabilitation too.
I'm glad you're covering Faith story. Faith and Hope definitely came to the farm just in time and got the family and love that they deserved ❤
Faith and Hope are both beautiful girls. I watched this video when it was first posted and couldn't stop crying. And now a few months later Hope has lost her Mom to cancer. She seems to be doing well with the help of the rest of the pack. Thank you for adopting them both, so Faith could know at last someone finally loved them. Rest in peace sweet girl. 🙏
Tears.....of joy for the love showered into these beautiful boxer girls..such a sweet bred....
@@patriciamcdonald1993 no what?????
I am watching with tears streaming I try so hard not to get annoyed but greedy breeders need pts it's so wrong thank you to Luke and Sam for showing love for the first time so many firsts ❤️💖❤️💖❤️
💔💔..turned into..❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It was so hard for me to rewatch Faith’s story but I understand that it needs to be told. It needs to be witnessed. You and Sam were godsends for her and Hope. Thank you for helping both these darling girls.
Agree
Faith and Hope's story is the one that taught me that my heart could break as completely for animals "met" only on videos as much as one of my own. I have cried watching other videos of animals mistreated, in pain, hungry, alone. But that sadness didn't last for days into weeks. When Faith crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I felt the loss of her beautiful presence in my far away world. I can't imagine the pain the Evans family and her pack family felt. Heartbreak beyond words. You are right, Sam. Faith must have her own story educating about uncaring, greed motivated breeders. I had never heard of being machine fed. I was appalled. Not even caring enough to feed in person. How these sentient creatures must feel never seeing a human, or feeling a loving touch or hearing a comforting word. To have their litter taken from them at 8 weeks old, probably the only living presence they experience and share until they birth again, must be unbearable beyond words. People MUST know her story and say "never again". 💞🐾💞
Tearssssssss just flowing...oh I so agree...our hearts here in Pennsylvania..also we're just broken...yet felt the joy..in seeing the healing take place......🙏🙏❤❤
They were both in the right place at the right time. You do a remarkable job with all the dogs.
Agreed. Thank God the shelter was full and all things aligned to get them to The Farm.
Aree..
This is EXACTLY how our Daisy came to us. She was a stray and difficult to catch but once we did this is how she has been. She is a hunting hound, we think always kept in a kennel until she was dumped. She will not tolerate a collar or leash so we are just giving her time. She loves our other dogs (5) but is still very wary of us after being here 10 months. She is getting better as did these dogs. What on earth she has been through I can't imagine but she is with us safe and sound now. Milestones are small but we love to see them .
Well done you. At long last LOVE had come her way. Thank you.
I could barely watch this. Precious Faith running and happy across the Rainbow Bridge. 💓🐾
Thanks
❤
Very touching story of Faith's final months/days. Thank you for sharing this beautiful dog's life.
Agree
Understandably delayed, Sam. This is tough story, and as a childhood abuse survivor myself, Faith was "lucky" to have been taken in by The Farm; by Luke and yourself. To feel safe, finally, before the end of her time on this earth was beyond her wildest dreams and while it seemed a short time, I was very happy for them (Hope too) to have the experience that not all humans suck. Thanks for what you did for her and for all that you do for Hope...you're likely saving her life and you're doing great stuff. Great respect and gratitude, and sorry for the pain that you all endured. Sad, but encouraging story, and as you said, hopefully eye-opening for those seeking breeders. Oh, this world, argh!
I hope u have found some peace in ur life.Every human deserves that...
I'm sorry to hear of your past but glad that you have found this wonderful channel and on line community. I also hope you too have been able to come to terms with your past and have found some sort of peace with it.
@@carolvanbeugenbik4632 Thank you!
@@lildebboston455 Thank you!
Simply beautiful. Very raw. Thank you for Faith's story. Heartache, love, pain, release to be the angel she was always meant to be.❤️😇 She will watch over you all 🌟
❤🙏
That last shot of Faith's headstone: Faith, Forever a Farm Dog, is so heart touching. I broke down in tears. Thank God she and Hope ended up at the Farm after such a horrendous beginning of their lives. To witness the love and care that you gave her and how that won her over to put her head on your lap is deeply moving.Thank you, Luke and Sam, for giving this dear creature the love and home that she never had. The video shows how long it took her to trust you and that you knew it was an organic process just deepens by respect for you and what you do at the Farm. Bless you.
I can't stop....crying and I've read all the posts and gave each a 👍❤❤
I sooo agree with each and every dear animal lover's soul.
Sweet Faith! The last few weeks of her life she absolutely knew true compassion and love in your care. Such a broken dog and still she found her way into all our hearts because of The Farm. Thank you for sharing Faith's story. Sometimes a bit of joy is worth a life of hardship. Her tail wag was that bit of joy. Carry on now Hope.
Thanks!
❤
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl. I remember that first time you let them off lead in the maze paddock and they just took off, bouncing and running around, with tails wagging the whole time. I was as surprised and giddy with joy as you guys with the immediate transformation! Faith (and Hope) was blessed to have found you guys. Her story was short, but she received so much love in the time you had together. Thank you for making this vid. I know it had to be hard for you. ❤❤❤
😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤
Faith breaks my heart. From the day she arrived at the farm, I just wanted to sit and hold her (and Hope) and let some love just seep into her traumatized body and soul. Thank you Sam and Luke for taking her in and showing her how life is supposed to be and keeping her comfortable in her final months. I'm happy Hope is now a part of the house pack and knows a different life. 💔💔
Agree..
My heart breaks 💔for Faith, Sam Luke thankyou for giving Faith the unconditional love and support she so well deserved, Hope will be her surviving legacy🙏🐾❤️
😪🙏
The whole journey for her is so emotional to watch, I honestly don’t want to think what could of happened if she didn’t come to the farm. Would she have known love, trust, friends, family or home. I sincerely thank you guys for doing all you did for her and what your still doing for her in honouring her, and bringing her daughter Hope to your hearts. 🐾❤️🐾 🙏💔
Thankful....for this story..and the love.
Oh sweet Faith, your time on The Farm was so short but you left a huge legacy in Hope!! Your baby girl is thriving and loving life!! Thank you Luke and Sam for giving these two the life they deserve, that all of God's creatures deserve. This video was so hard to watch because of just knowing the life they had before The Farm!!! I am so thankful she had that time with your family to know what true love is!! Fly High Faith!!
Well said...and agree.
Many tears were shed watching Faith's and now Hope's journey. I believe we will all see our beloved pets again in their Forever after homes. Thank you for showing such kindness to these sweet dogs.
😢This was so sad...but you gave Faith her best life...Thank you Luke and Sam💔
When I saw Faith and Hope's arrival, I was in tears. I'd never seen anything like this, even on animal rescue shows. I'm so grateful to you both for the care and kindness you lavished on Faith and continue to give Hope. Watching them run and bounce was wonderful. Seeing how the other dogs gave them confidence to be, well, dogs.
As for reputable breeders who treat dogs like puppy producing machines rather than living creatures, words fail me. In the UK we are advised to see puppies in their home environment with parents. I can't imagine that these breeders would allow such shut down dogs to be seen. Describing the pups as being home raised would be false advertising. Perhaps one of the tv programmes you have dealt with could do an exposé on these breeding practices as a whole rather than singling out Faith and Hope's previous owner?
A very sad story but one that ended on a high because of the Evans Family and their pack.
The people who so obviously mistreated Faith & Hope shouldn’t be allowed to own any animal. Their lack of any compassion or concern for the physical and mental health of the dogs in their care is criminal. If they’re still allowed to breed dogs someone needs to expose them for the disgusting excuses of human beings they are. They have a special place in hell waiting for them!
Totally.
Thank you for giving Faith the best...she knew love and that's good thing.
It sure was..
Dear sweet Faith eventually had her best life albeit for only a few weeks thank to Luke and Sam giving themselves to her for the short life she had left ❤

Most inhuman someone could have done.
Firstly I am so sorry for your loss and Faith's tragic beginnings, but in the end Faith had something that not all dogs (and people) ever have and that is unconditional love, support, understanding, compassion and belonging and you and Luke gave her that and so much more.
Agree
Well said.
I hope with all the strength of my soul one day all the injustices will be part of a very distant past .
Sweet sweet Faith!!! ❤️🐕❤️
In November I had to put my 15-year-old cat to sleep. I went to our local human society and adopted my cat called Jet. Just like Faith we never want our pets to suffer. You could tell that Faith was living her best part of her life on The Farm. In the end she knew that you loved her and that Hope was in very good hands.
😊❤👍
Faith’s story is so very sad😢I wish the laws regarding breeding could be more strict.
I hope your videos show people how wonderful these dogs are and encourage more people to rescue.
Rescues are the best breed🥰🐾🥰
Oh we pray...it stops...
Agree with your words.
Beautiful and honoring tribute. Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for all your love, kindness and patience you showed Faith. I hadn’t realized just how much she’d grown to trust you, Luke. Thanking God once again for all you offer these amazing creatures and in this case- sweet Faith!
Thank you Luke and Sam for these videos highlighting individual dogs... Like the Chance video previously. It's wonderful to learn more about each dog. ❤️❤️❤️
We love these also...and may God bless the dear Evans family...for all the hard work...and all the gift givers and worker at the farm..thanks all
Well said. I.couldnt say it better myself.
Oh geez, cried all over again, but what a tribute to Faith ❤❤❤
Think we all cryed..but Joy for dear sweet Hope.
Dearest Faith,
I’m so very sorry your early life was so traumatic and unhappy. The time you had at The Farm was so special, you were SO loved. Not only by the wonderful Evan’s family but by thousands of us who watched your videos. You really did make a difference, you shared your vulnerability and fears with us all and overcame many of them. You were a true angel on earth and now at the Rainbow Bridge. No more pain now, just love and love and love from around the world. ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶
That was beautiful. 😊❤
Your true beautiful words have Mr crying again...oh.tearsssss and still i agree...God bless the Evan's family.
I couldn't help but cry for this one. Poor Faith. It's heartbreaking to know the majority of her life was spent in neglect. I am so happy she found you and Luke. She was meant to be an Evans. RIP Faith 🩷 we will always miss you
We will..❤🙏
Such a beautiful tribute to a special momma. Her story needs to be told and shared worldwide. Thank you for showering her with love...love wins. ❤️
Agree..
I totally agree ❤️
Thank you for this. I am struggling right now just wanting to bawl like a baby over the cruelty some have to endure. But I know Faith’s last few months on this earth were wonderful and when she passed, she was a much loved part of the Evans family and finally able to experience love and peace. God bless you for all you do. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
This family is nothing but pure love..thanks to the Evans....a sweet sweet ...mother /daughter ...got to know and do know ❤ LOVE.
My favorite moment of faith and hope was when you were explaining how much they reminded you of your veteran buddies with ptsd. You were so downhearted and they were really keeping their distance, even with all the yummy chicken you were tossing them. Then in comes uncle Yo-yo, jumping the fence and coming to save the day like a superhero. He knew the way for you to earn their trust was to witness how much he trusted and loved you. It worked like a charm. They went from 30 feet away to practically eating out of your hands. It just goes to show never underestimate a dog’s intuition and good heartedness. ❤️❤️❤️
The life Faith had at the Farm was short, unfortunately,but she knew some happiness and freedom to be who she was meant to be. RIP Faith, know that your daughter lives the life you were both meant to have thanks to a wonderful Family. 🐾🐕🐈👭🐐🐎🏡🌎🥰👋❤
It breaks my heart to think of her life, but how wonderful that she had some time on a farm with lots of doggo friends and a loving Mum and Dad. Thank you for all that you did for Faith.
Agree
Never thought when I woke up this a.m. I would be sobbing. What a lovely video of dear sweet Faith. She knew she was loved as she crossed over the 🌈 bridge.
Thank you Luke, Sam, kids,Hope, and her pack for giving her what she always deserved.
I know she's so happy for her beautiful girl to be safe and loved at the Farm forever.
💜🐶❤️
Thank you for this review of Faith and Hope! We all so loved them and were right there with you at each step!
😊❤❤👍🙏
I still sob every time we see video and she’s talked about!!!
It’s always astonishing to me how cruel some people can treat animals. Thank goodness Faith had you guys in the end. You were her blessing. Thanks Luke and Sam for your good heartedness.
Such dedication & compassion 🤗 you are awesome proof that there are wonderful caring & loving human angels on Earth saving a multitude of fur-baby angels ♥️👍
💜💜🙏
I cried from start to the end! How can humanity be cruel to such a beautiful soul!? My prayer is that she'll be happy in heaven for ever! ♥
Watching Faith and Hope cowering and dropping to the ground was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Seeing them run free together was wonderful. So glad Faith found love and trust at The Farm. RIP beautiful Faith.
Beautiful tribute for Faith…❤
My favorite happy moment for Faith was her discovering the “magic chicken window”. Very cute. 😊❤
@@KBirch53 That was lovely. I'll remember her discovery of that magical place when I think of her.
Faith and Hope were blessed to have found your family. Miss that sweet girl, happy note is we have her daughter to watch blossom. ❤
😊👍❤
Makes me so happy to see Hope enjoying pets from humans.
I spilled a lot of tears for this beautiful girl and I'm sorry she was robbed of a long, healthy life with you. Thankfully she knew love and happiness before she passed 😢🤗
Faith died knowing her daughter was safe. That is everything! Bless you!
Thank you Luke and Sam. It's sad that Faith's life was so short, but there is consolation in knowing that she got to experience the Love of a safe and happy home before she passed. You are amazing.
Agree
Thank you Sam and Luke for loving these two beautiful dogs. I am so glad they now have both found the meaning of love and family and safety and security. ❤️
I am not a crying person but gee my eyes are welling up😢 thank you for all the effort that you put into their care❤ it’s sad but also uplifting!
❤❤
💗💗 We love you, Faith 💗💗
Thank you Luke and Sam 😘 thank you for rescuing them , thank you for caring and thank you for adopting them both
❤ although faith's time at the farm was short, she really did make the most of it and it was all of you guys, hoomans and doggos.. ps don't forget to comment, like and share this video 👍❤
After following Faith from time she came to the farm, I was afraid to watch this. I wept the whole video. She and Hope stole our hearts, and I know really touched you. Thank you for this lovely tribute.
I had the same feelings Beth. But I'm glad I plucked up the courage to watch it. Faith was such a wee sweetheart 💕
I hesitated also, but through the tears made it through knowing she was so loved plus she knew her baby would be loved forever at the farm. ❤️❤️
I forgot to mention how touching it was to see Faith and Hope respond so positively to the pack! They let the girls know that all were happy at the farm🐾💞
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for all the love you gave her. 💗 thanks to the community for all they love they've shared too!
Agree
Faith and Hope are a salutary lesson, how we treat those in less fortunate circumstances as it can have consequences far and above the initial impact. Dear Faith deserved so much more but Luke, Sam and the Farm gave her and Hope so much love and care in her last few months. RIP beautiful Faith you touched so many lives.
And to think..of their names.
Just made me cry...it wasn't until ...They came to the farm..did their names ring true.......💜💜🙏🙏
She certainly did, and, I feel sure, will continue to do so.
Okay…so now I am bawling my eyes out! Thank you so much for this bittersweet tribute to beautiful Faith. Having lost 2 Boxers myself to cancer, my heart is with you and I know Faith is in good company. Boxers are fun-loving, nutty, goof-balls. To see Faith & Hope so fearful makes me cry. Whatever was done to them was outrageous! Thank goodness they found their way to your loving farm. Since seeing your original videos months ago, I started following a Boxer rescue in Michigan. Over the past few months they have rescued multiple Boxers from the mills. I am embarrassed to say I never realized how awful the Amish Puppy Mills are in this country - the dogs are considered livestock 😔. We are grateful for the time and love you put into her care. My wish for 2023 is for all puppy mills to be gone!
Thank you for everything you did for her, RIP beautiful Faith ❤
Run free sweet Faith, I’m glad you knew love before you gained your wings, this is a small token of my appreciation for your dedication to helping those gorgeous girls Luke, Sam & team. #staypawsitive 🐾
So emotional- ❤ but she got a good life and now her daughter has a good life! ❤❤❤❤
Faith and Hope's story is truly heartbreaking.. Faith would be eternally grateful that Hope gets to stay at the farm where she is safe and loved .. thank you so much for all that you have done for these girls .. I'm so glad that Faith got those couple of months of farm life before she passed ... she would have known her baby girl was being left in good hands.. again THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND SUPPORT FOR THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS... 😍 💞💕
Too true. She surely is resting in peace
God bless the wee darling ❤️
Beautiful Faith. Luke and Sam, I am so glad you were there for her.
The other viewers and supporters have said it all for me; please know, Sam & Luke how special you both are, and how fortunate these fur babies that come your way and blessed even more by being adopted into the Evan family. Again, I repeat, you are loved and appreciated by your global 'family' more than you know! Blessings and take good care of yourselves. Hugs galore from Geraldine in BC, Western Canada...🥰😺😺❣🐕🦺🐕🦺🐈🐶
Agree...awesome words.
Heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it through to the end of this video.
The important part is that you guys were there for Faith when she needed you the most, and she knew what love was.
❤❤🙏
❤️❤️❤️😔😔😔😔😔 Love you Faith and Hope.
I love this story of Faith and Hope. Rest easy Faith. You are loved by many.
So hard to watch this one. Thank you for giving her a good ending. You are the best. 💗
Luke and Sam, how do we as pet lovers ever express our gratitude to the two of you. You have and continue to show the world what true caring people are like. At the end of her life Faith had all the love she had deserved all her life.
Thank you both for all you do for all of these precious animals. There is no way to show you how much your work is appreciated.
I just do not understand how people can live with themselves knowing how they treat a animal is wrong. At least she was sent to you to give her and Hope a place to recover.
Feed by machines? The insanity of some people! I don't want to think what her end would have been like without you guys. Thank God you took them in!!!! Love always! You guys are truly the best!
beautiful angel Faith definitely deserved her own video. so poignant 💔💔🌈
