Squeals, barks fill Mumbai church as priest blessed pets

Father Joe D’Souza walked bet-ween the pews, petting a Labrador, speaking gently to a Spaniel, stroking a Pomeranian.
Squeals and barks rent the Sunday morning calm of Church of Our Lady of Health in Cavel, Mumbai, on Oct. 9. Children from neighborhood too were delighted, as they watched proud pet-parents bringing their pets for blessings.
