A church in Massachusetts plans a ‘perfect paws pet ministry’ that will hold a monthly worship service for dogs.

Everyone deserves a chance to go to heaven. So the Calvary Episcopal Church of Massachusetts is scheduled to launch a ‘perfect paws pet ministry’ that will hold a monthly worship service for dogs. They have invited well-mannered, leashed dogs for the service on the third Sunday of every month to get special blessings. For dogs who are unwell or don’t enjoy being around other animals, owners can put up a paper prayer. Reverend Thea Keith-Lucas told The Salem News that dogs will have a say during service because barking won’t be banned.
