Muldoon, an old Irish farmer lived alone with a pet Irish setter he doted on. The dog finally died and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked "Father, me dog is dead. Could you be saying a Mass for him?"
Father Patrick replied "No, we cannot have services for the animal in the church, but there is a new Protestant denomination down the road, no telling what they believe or if they'll do something for the animal."

Muldoon said "What a splendid idea, father. 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?"
