This is actually what led me to the thought of why are Pit Bulls the only breed to be known as, “The Fighting Dogs”. It had me wondering why every time I walk my dogs someone…

Lord's House – even dogs. Members of the congregation would often bring their dogs to church, or the dogs would follow their owners there. Either way, the need for a canine babysitter became apparent as the number of animal congregants increased.
