* Catholic Dog*

[Damrod]

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for

company.. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest

and asked, 'Father, my dog is dead...... Could ya' be saying' a mass for

the poor creature?'

Father Patrick replied, 'I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an

animal in the church.... But there are some Baptists down the lane, and

there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the

creature.'

Muldoon said, 'I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough

to donate to them for the service?'

Father Patrick exclaimed, 'Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya

tell me the dog was Catholic?
