Stavros the god...

Mitsos lived above his restaurant with only his beloved pet dog called Stavros for company.

One day Stavros the dog died and Mitsos went to his local priest and asked,

"Father Niko, my dog Stavros died. Could you do a Trisagio for my poor dead animal, he was like a son to me?"

Father Nikos shook his head, "Mitso pedi mou, I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But, there's a Catholic church on the next block. God knows what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for your dog?"

Mitsos said, "I'll go right away Father Niko. Do you think $2,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"

Father Niko exclaimed, "Kyrie Eleison! Vre Mitso pedi mou, why didn't you tell me the dog was Greek Orthodox?
