Bring Your Dog to Church Day

A church in North Weymouth, Massechusettes is opening its doors to dogs and other pets and is offering a blessing of animals today. According to an article in the Boston Globe, the Reverend Rachel Bickford, herself the mom of a menagere of furbabies, was inspired by psalm 148 and 150 which says 'Let all wild animals, creeping things and flying birds give God praise.' and 'Praise the Lord, let everything that breathes, praise the Lord.' respectively.

Apparently inviting dogs to church isn't as easy as it sounds. The insurance company originally forbid the attendance of pitbulls, but Rev Bickford was able to change their minds by showing them a little more green.
