Church In Florida Holds ‘Dog-Friendly’ Services, Says “You Can’t Pray and Leave a Loved One Behind”

A church in Florida has been holding dog-friendly weekly services for more than 10 years to ensure that “you don’t pray and leave your loved one behind.”
Father Albert Cutie, rector at St. Benedict’s Episcopal Church in Plantation, said the facility has been holding “dog-friendly” 6 p.m. Saturday services for about 10 years.

“Can you really pray and leave a loved one behind?” Cutie told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

He said the canine congregants are remarkably well behaved while sitting in the pews with their owners.

“We sometimes have 10 to 12 dogs at a time,” Cutie said. “You never really hear them much — unless they encounter each other after Communion and then they begin to bark at each other. But everybody expects that.”
