In the heart of Old Northeast lives a dog with a name as meaningful as her presence: Faith Victory. A beautiful tri roan English Springer Spaniel with soulful eyes and a big personality, Faith is the beloved companion of Jennifer Bushnell and her father, Frank.

Faith came into Jennifer’s life just when she needed her most. With her aging Boston Terrier slowing down, Jennifer began thinking about a new dog to help ease the transition—and when her cousin, a breeder at Bizzy Farms in Williston, FL, had a litter, everything fell perfectly into place. One little pup stood out. On her lower back, she had a tiny marking shaped like a "V." For Jennifer, whose Christian faith is deeply important, that “V” stood for “Victory.” Combined with her faith, the name Faith Victory was born.

Now four years old—soon to be five on October 12—Faith is full of energy, affection, and just a little bit of mischief. One of her sweetest quirks? She gives real hugs. And she’s smart too: trained as a puppy to fetch toys from her toy box (though she still hasn't quite learned to put them back). With a laundry basket overflowing with toys, Faith takes her time digging through until she finds just the one she’s looking for.

She may weigh 60 pounds, but don’t tell her that—Faith still believes she’s a lap dog and spends much of her time as Jennifer’s devoted shadow. On hot summer days, you’ll find her sprawled out in front of the fan, belly-up, all four legs in the air, in true diva fashion.

Faith also has a favorite pastime: watching TV. If a dog appears on screen, she springs into action—leaping from one side of the bed to the other, barking and wagging as though she’s right there in the scene with them.

Spoiled? Absolutely. But in the best way. Faith enjoys car rides (though she may offer her opinion to passersby), long naps, and all the love she can soak up from her family. To Jennifer and Frank, she’s more than a pet—she’s a comforting presence, a source of daily joy, and a true companion in every sense of the word.

“She’s my best friend,” Jennifer says. “And she brings something special to every day.”

Faith Victory: a name, a story, and a very loved member of the Bushnell family.
