The Christians dogs last rights

Father O’Riely and father O’Brien

Father O’Brien!?

Yes father O’Riely.

I think the dog’s very sick,

do you think we should take him to the vet!?

O no father O’Riely, just give him the ‘last rights.’

But won’t that be admitting that he’s going to die real soon, shouldn’t we take him to the vet!?

O father O’Riely, just stick to what you were trained in!!!
