Rev Penny Jones at Pet blessing at St Lukes Church.

DOGS can seem pretty unholy after going through the rubbish and digging a few holes in the backyard, but thankfully animal owners were able to put a bit of holy back into their pets after this morning's Animal Sunday service at St Luke's Anglican Church.
Dogs howling at hymns and grumbling at prayers for cats provided for a light hearted church service as Reverends Penny Jones and Val Grayson presided over what is easily the most fun Sunday on the church's annual calendar.
Pet owners brought along their furry friends to enjoy an outdoor church service aimed at thanking the little critters that often make our most dependable and loyal friends.
There were prayers for cats, dogs, ducks and even elephants said, as well as a moment to reflect on furry friends passed on.
"It's so important to recognise our interdependence with the animal world because we have one creator and we belong together in the web of life," Rev Jones said.
"They give us such marvellous gifts such as unconditional love and loyalty and deserve to be recognised."
