The pastor of a Los Angeles church has an idea he hopes will draw new followers and help his church reconnect with the community.
Convenant Presbyterian Church held a service Sunday where worshippers were allowed to bring their dogs.
There were doggie beds, prayers for ill pooches and treats were handed out at the offering.
The Rev. Tom Eggebeen (EHG'-uh-bean) says he believes the strong connection between an owner and his or her dog is a form of God's love.
Though some Christian beliefs hold that only human have souls and can be redeemed, more churches are exploring ways to engage serious pet lovers.
