The Benefits of Working at a Catholic Store

Hi guys. I was bored today at work and discovered my new favorite saint:

Saint Guinefort. He's a dog. Also see here for a primary source:

I am really into this story. It's got everything. Religion vs. superstition, the bond between man and animal, snakes (talk about symbolism), betrayal, guilt, remorse, shrines...

Can we talk soon?

-M(uch love)
