K-9s Alert

by Dan Lyons

Part of K-9 training for police

work includes training dogs to

perform "building searches" for

burglars, bombs, disaster victims,

etc.

When a dog locates a hidden or

trapped person, it alerts the

handler by pointing to the location

of the person or barks and

becomes aggressive.

In 1995, Pope John Paul 11 was in the United States. He was scheduled to visit some seminarians. To accommodate the

Pope, the seminarians lined up on the front steps of the local

Cathedral to meet him. The Pope was scheduled to arrive in

his mobile, go up the steps of the Cathedral, briefly visit the

seminarians, and then be on his way.

However, when the Holy Father arrived at the Cathedral, he

said he wished to visit the Blessed Sacrament first. The secu-

rity people were a bit anxious and concerned. The visit to the

Cathedral had not been planned. Consequently they had not

done a "security sweep" of that building.

With little time to prepare they decided to do a five- minute "building search" of the Cathedral. The dogs searched

every nook and cranny of that building without finding any-

one. Eventually the dogs and handlers worked their way to

the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel.

When the K-9s entered this chapel, they alerted and pointed to

the Blessed Sacrament, indicating to their handlers that a

LIVING PERSON was present.

By Faith, we believe in Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucha-

rist: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.

This story was presented by Sister Anne Shields on a program

that appeared on EWTN called The Choices We Face.

“While every doctrine of our

Faith is important, faith in the

Eucharist is clearly foundational for

Catholic Christianity. –Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC

This year’s Festival Letter by Bishop Jenky is titled the “The

Real Presence” To read this letter by our Bishop please visit
