All hounds were on deck Sunday for a Blessing of the Pets at Congregation Anshei Israel, led by Rabbi Robert Eisen. About two dozen dogs attended, and a half-dozen cats were blessed virtually through photographs or with stuffed stand-ins. One dog even brought her stuffed cat for blessing. The Sunday school class and attendees joined to sing a resounding rendition of “Rise and Shine Noah” while a torrential rain fell outside.
