    I got this from RELIGION TODAY NEWS SUMMARY, thought I'd share it with you.

    Unlike many humans, Preta the dog goes to church every Sunday - and even
    walks 16 miles to get there.

    Every Sunday for the last three years, the pooch has headed out of her
    owner's home in the northern Portuguese town of Sobrado at 5 a.m.,
    Correio da Manha newspaper reported.

    A former stray, Preta - Portuguese for "black" - walks alone to a church
    in neighboring Ermesinde to take her usual place next to the altar in
    time for 7:30 a.m. mass. Whenever worshippers stand up or sit down,
    Preta does the same.

    Once mass is over, she usually walks back home. Sometimes Preta will
    return in a car - but only with a human she knows.

    Congregations have grown at the church as many people come just to see
    Preta, the newspaper said.
