A two-legged dog that has learned to walk like a human could be considered for a role in the next Harry Potter film, according to reports. Faith's owners in Oklahoma City in the US believe the part could involve her appearing as the result of a spell.

But the Stringfellow family said British trainers working on the film had not yet confirmed a part for Faith, who was born with the disability. The three-foot tall dog even has her own showbiz lawyer.

Faith has been featured on the Ricki Lake show in the US and has attracted widespread interest from newspapers all over the world.

The family has been contacted about the possibility of doing a few scenes in the fourth Harry Potter movie, The Goblet Of Fire, currently being filmed in the UK, but no plans have been finalised, they said.

1. Poor thing!

It's good she has a loving home. I can't think that everyone would be tempted to keep this dog as a pet.

3. I saw her on the nooze recently!

What an inspiring story. They considered euthanizing her when she was born without front legs but decided to let her go for it. Like humans born with similar disabilities she adapted beautifully. Don't feel sorry for Faith. She's a very happy canine!
