Angus joins Blessing of the Animals at Manor Road United

The annual Blessing of the Animals was held at Manor Road United Church Sunday morning. Amid a good turnout of four-legged subjects, Rev Roberta Howey gathered children in the sanctuary to reveal her “secret” as a youngster. She was afraid of dogs. But her friendship with a girl who owned a happy dog helped her overcome this fear. Margaret McKnight (above) joined the congregation with her Scottish Terrier Angus, who was duly blessed.
