Mitsos lived above his restaurant with only his beloved pet dog for
company.
One day the dog died and Mitsos went to the parish priest and asked,
"Father, my dog died. Could you do a Trisagion for the poor animal? He
was
like a son to me."
Father Nikos shook his head, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services
for an
animal in the church. But, there's a Unitarian church on the next
block, and
God knows what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for your dog."
Mitsos said, "I'll go right away Father. Do you think $5,000 is enough
to
donate to them for the service?
Father Nikos exclaimed, "Kyrie Eleison! Vre Mitso, why didn't you tell
me
the dog was Greek Orthodox?"
