"I'm sorry, can you bark a little louder? Little Jimmy can't hear you from from kitchen, dear."

(KCBS) - The barking echoed through a famous San Francisco cathedral as pets great and small lined up for Grace Cathedral Church’s annual blessing of the animals on Sunday.
“People from all over bring their animals and have them blessed in the church and out on the courtyard,” Christina Campbell told KCBS reporter Ron Naso on Nob Hill.
She and husband Tyler brought their 6½ month sheltie puppy down the aisle they recently walked down themselves.
“This is our baby,” she said.
“I think it’s a great idea,” said husband Tyler, “We got married here a year ago and we’re blessed as well.”
Some walked on all fours, some were walked in pet carriers, and two San Francisco Police Dept. mounted patrol horses headed the procession towards the altar.
All animals are welcome to attend the annual service held in honor of St. Francis, reputed to have spoken with animals.
