"Baptist dog"
Greetings John and Doves,
This was sent to me this week from a friend named Ingrid. I hope
it brings a smile to your face too.

Baptist Dog
Ever mindful of the congregation, the Baptist preacher and his
wife decided to get a new dog, and knew that the dog also had to
be a Baptist.
They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs.
Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had
just the dog they wanted.
The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife.
"Fetch the Bible," he commanded. The dog bounded to the
bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought
it to the owner.
"Now find Psalm 23," he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to
the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed
through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his
paw.
The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the
dog. That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The
pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate
several Bible verses.
The visitors were very impressed.
One man asked,
"Can he do regular dog tricks, too?" "I haven't tried
yet," the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog.
"HEEL!" the pastor commanded.
The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on
the pastor's forehead and began to howl.
The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said,
"Good Lord! He's "PENTECOSTAL!"
