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

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

The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, "Good Lord! He's
Pentecostal!"
