[nagdu] church and dogs

[Merry Schoch]

The first time I went to the church which I attend now, I asked them if they 
would allow me to bring a guide dog?  Not only did I bring one, but my 
daughter ended up raising a pup to be a guide when she was a teenager.  So, 
we brought 2 to church.  The church also raised enough money to name a 
puppy.  Which the kids chose and they chose "Mary".  What is ironic about 
that is that the dog ended up being a breeder for the school.
