Dogs, cats and even a fish blessed at event

DeKALB – It was the second time Rhys Brall brought his two dogs to a pet blessing event at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

“They need all the help they can get,” Brall said with a laugh. With his wife, Jocelyn, he brought his two dogs, Suzy, a purebred beagle, and Kosmo, a labrador-golden retriever mix, to be blessed by the Rev. Stacy Walker-Frontjes. He also brought his son’s dog, Penny.

“Our children are gone, so they are our kids now,” Brall said.
