[nagdu] church and dogs

[Garry and Joy Relton]

Mary,

My churches have always welcomed my dogs as well. In fact, when I had to put
my last one to sleep members donated to the Seeing Eye in his memory and
also bought hymnals and had a beautiful message printed in the back of them
about his work and faithful guiding. It was really special.

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.
