Dog attends mass

Have you heard about the dog in St. Louis parish in MO that attends mass? The dog, Elijah, is the pet of Rev. Don Buhr. Elijah attends every mass that Don presides over. I guess that dog does not need any communion invitations. Buhr first came to the church and asked the parishioners if it would be all right if Elijah attended Mass. So far, he said, no one has complained.

As far as I know, no other church in the USA allows animals inside. During the blessing of animals in San Francisco all of the animals stay outside. I could not find a picture of Elijah but he is black and white, slim and part lab and border collie mix.
