[QUOTE=snowbird;3785834 There is a church in Big pine key that the priest has two large dogs.. golden retrievers and when he was doing mass the two dogs would lay on the alter during the service. Before church would start the dogs would go up and down the aisles and people would bring treats for them. There were lots of other people there with small dogs also. Once a month he wouild do a specialty mass just for the animals. I thought that was a great idea. Key West is such a dog friendly city. We love it there!

Ohhhh! That's lovely!!
We have a comedy series 'over here' called The Vicar of Dibley - and one of the episodes was just what you're describing!
Our local church also often has 'pet friendly' services (unfortunately, most of the kids round here just take their teddy bears.....
