For all those officers who have purchased dogs in recent days!

The Majors (Salvation army Pastors) decided they needed a dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be Christian.


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 Majors purchased the dog.

That evening a group of the Corps people came to the Majors' home for a prayer meeting. After the prayers over a cup of coffee, the Majors 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 Major. Pointing his finger at the dog, he commanded "Heel!"

The dog immediately jumped up on a chair, placed one paw on the Major's forehead and began to howl.

The Major turned to his wife and exclaimed "Good grief, we've bought a Pentecostal dog!"
