A Baptist preacher and his wife decided they needed a dog. Ever
mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be Baptist.
They visited an expensive kennel and explained their needs to the
manager, who assured them he had just the dog for them. The dog was
produced and the manager said, "Fetch the Bible." The dog bounded to
the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought
it to the manager. The manager then said "Find Psalms 23". The dog,
showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed thru the Bible,
found the correct passage, and pointed to it with his paw. Duly
impressed, the couple purchased the dog. That evening a group of
parishioners came to visit. The preacher and his wife began to show
off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were
amazed. Finally, one man asked, "Can he do normal dog tricks too?"
"Let's see" said the preacher. Pointing his finger at the dog, he
commanded "Heel!" The dog immediately jumped up on a chair, placed
one paw on the preacher's forehead and began to howl. The preacher
turned to his wife and exclaimed "Good grief, we've bought a
Pentecostal dog!"
