Last week, New York worshippers celebrated mass at St John the Divine Cathedral with hundreds of animals – from a camel to dogs and geese – that queued up for blessings.
The church was marking the feast of St Francis of Assisi, known as the patron saint of pets and animals.
Animal lovers of many faiths brought their furry friends, including Jon Shweky, who is Jewish, and Christine Cookman, who is Catholic. They brought their black Labrador, who is training to become a guide for the blind.
“We wanted to bring him for a blessing before he went in [to be a guide dog], for good health and good luck,” Cookman said.
