A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever
>mindful of
>the congregation, they knew the dog must also 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 onto the
>Pastor's
>lap, placed one paw on the pastor's forehead, and began to howl.
>
>
>
>The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, My God! He's
>Pentecostal!
