This good pup knows to wait until the food has been blessed — no matter how good those kibbles may smell! And what a sweet prayer from the pooch’s young master!

 

So, did you hear about the couple that notices a sign in the mall pet shop advertising “Christian Puppies?” Their interest piqued, they go inside.

“How do you know they’re Christian puppies?” the wife asks.

What a sweet pup!

“Watch,” says the storeowner. He gestures to one of the dogs and says, “Fetch the Bible.”

The dog runs over to the desk, grabs the Bible in its mouth and returns.

The storeowner says, “Find Psalm 23.”

The dog flips pages with its paw until he reaches the right page, then stops. Amazed and delighted, the husband and wife purchase the dog and head home.

That evening, they invite some friends over and show them the dog, having him run through his Psalm 23 routine. Impressed, one of the visitors asks “Does he also know ‘regular’ commands?”

“Gee, we don’t know. We didn’t ask,” replies the husband.

Turning to the dog, he says, “Sit.” The dog sits. He says, “Lie down.” The dog lies down. He says “Roll over.” The dog rolls over.

He says “Heel.” The dog runs over to him, jumps up on the sofa, puts both paws on the owner’s forehead and bows his head.

“Oh, my!” the wife exclaims. “He’s PENTECOSTAL!”
