Muldoon's Dog

A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he 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.
