A devout couple felt it \ /| /0} {0\\ |\ /

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.
