A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the countryside with a pet dog which he loved and doted on. After many long years of companionship, the dog finally died so Muldoon went to the parish priest:“Father, my dear old dog is dead. Could you be saying a mass for the creature?“Father Patrick replied, „I am so very sorry to hear about your dog`s death. But, unfortunately we cannot have services for an animal in the church. However, there`s a new denomination down the road, no telling what they believe, but maybe they`ll do something for the animal.“Muldoon said, „I`ll go right now. Do you think $500 is enough to donate for the service?“Father Patrick: „$500? – Why didn`t you tell me the dog was Catholic?!“
