Religious dog joins archbishop's household in Philadelphia
A Benedictine monk trained St Bernard duels with a collie owned by Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia. The collie, once mistaken for the archbishop, became an attache at the residence. It prays, plays piano, attends services, and accompanies the archbishop on park walks. The real owner later gifted the dog, valued at about 500 dollars, to the archbishop who keeps him near daily.
