A devout couple felt it important to own an equally devout pet. So, they went
shopping. At a kennel specializing in this particular breed, they found a dog
they liked.

When they asked the dog to fetch the Bible, he did it in a flash. When they
instructed him to look up Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with
dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went home–devoutly.

That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their new pet and his
major skills, they called the dog and showed off a little.

The friends were impressed, and asked whether the dog was able to do any of
the usual dog tricks, as well. This stopped the couple cold, as they hadn’t
thought about “normal” tricks. Well, they said, “let’s try this out.” Once more
they called the dog, and they clearly pronounced the command, “Heel!” Quick as a
wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man’s forehead, closed his eyes in
concentration, and bowed his head.
