The dog is good.
At least, this was the gracious attitude of one pet-friendly priest in Brazil whose recent church service was upstaged by a surprise visitor with a wagging tail.
Earlier in June 2019, Father José Geraldo Sobreira was leading mass at the Nossa Senhora das Dores parish when in walked a random dog.
The doggy had playtime on his mind.
Rather than shoo the furry new parishioner away, though, the priest did quite the opposite. Sobreira embraced the dog’s presence, carrying on the service with a smile — despite the adorable little distraction at his feet.

Here is a video of the sweet scene:
Though it is unclear where exactly the dog had come from, folks online have interpreted the visit as something divine.
Sobreira has earned plenty of praise for the way he received that “angel with four paws.”
