"The New Dog"
A Baptist preacher and his wife decided they needed a dog.
Ever mindful
of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be Baptist.
They visited
an expensive kennel and explained their needs to the manager, who assured
them he had just the dog for them.
The dog was produced and the manager said
Fetch the Bible."
The dog bolted to the bookshelf, scrutinized the
books, located the Bible, and brought it to the manager.
The manager then said
Find Psalms 23".
The dog, showing marvelous dexterity with his paws,
leafed through the Bible, found the correct passage, and pointed to it with
his paw.
Duly impressed, the couple purchased the dog.
That evening a group of
parishioners came to visit.
The preacher and his wife began to show off
the dog, having him locate several Bible verses.
The visitors were amazed.
Finally, one man asked, "Can he! do normal dog tricks too?"
"Let's see"
and the preacher.
Pointing his finger at the dog, he commanded "Heel!"
The
dog immediately jumped up on a chair, placed one paw on the preacher's
forehead and began to howl.
The preacher turned to his wife and
exclaimed "Good grief, we've bought a Pentecostal dog!"
