A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he had for a long time. The dog finally died and Muldoon went to the parish priest, saying, "Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly be saying a Mass for the poor creature?" Father Patrick told the farmer, "No, we can`t have services for an animal in the church, but I`ll tell you what, there`s a new denomination down the road apiece, and no telling what they believe in, but maybe they`ll do something for the animal." Muldoon said, "I`ll go right now. By the way, do you think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?" Father Patrick replied, "Why didn`t you tell me the dog was Catholic."
