Wonder doggy!

Can you imagine a dog sitting through sermons? You have to actually see Coco to believe this. Who is he? He is a chocolate brown labrador belonging to a vicar called Andrew James in Cardiff.

The whole town seems to be under his spell. The visitors to the church swear by Coco’s popularity, says the owner. He is the cynosure of all eyes. And do you know what is the most amazing aspect of Coco? He understands every bit of what James says like when he calls out ‘peace’, Coco sits up and when he says ‘vestry’ Coco immediately walks off. When James goes near the doggy, he lifts up his leg. As a mark of affection, the vicar shakes his paws.

Whenever Father James visits local schools, he takes Coco along. The children at the school are very fond of him.

Coco is very well-mannered, says the Father. He keeps the congregation hooked by his innocent antics, explains James. The worshippers roll with laughter when Coco lets out an occasional yawn in the middle of sermons or when he snores, testifies James.
