This fundamentalist Christian couple felt it important to own an
equally fundamentally Christian pet. So, they went shopping.

At a kennel specializing in this particular breed, they found a
dog they liked quite a lot. When they asked the dog to fetch the
Bible, he did it in a flash. When they instructed him to look up
Psalm 23, he complied equally fast, using his paws with
dexterity. They were impressed, purchased the animal, and went
home.

That night they had friends over. They were so proud of their new
fundamentalist dog and his major skills, they called in the dog
and showed off a little.

The friends were impressed and asked whether the dog was able to
do any of the usual dog tricks as well. This stopped the couple
cold, as they hadn't thought about "normal" tricks.

Well, they said. "Let's try this out." Once more they called the
dog and they clearly pronounced the command, "Heel!"

Quick as a wink, the dog jumped up, put his paw on the man's
forehead, closed his eyes in concentration and bowed his head.
