Baptist Dog

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 preacher 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 preacher and his wife
were very impressed and purchased the dog.

That evening, a group of church members came to visit.
The preacher 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 preacher replied. He
pointed his finger at the dog. "Heel!", the preacher
commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair,
placed one paw on the preacher's forehead and began to
howl.

The preacher looked at his wife in shock and said,
"Oh My! He's Pentecostal!"
