For many years an elderly Jewish man's only companion was an equally old dog. One day the dog died.
The grieving man went to his Rabbi and asked if the Rabbi would say Kaddish for his cherished dog.
The rabbi said, "Kaddish is only for humans, not for animals. But there's a new Reform congregation down the street a block or two. Go there and ask if they'll say Kaddish for the dog. They just may be meshuggenah enough to do it for you."
The old man thanked him, and then added, "Do you think they'd also accept my $175,000 donation in memory of my little Moishe?"
"Wait a minute!", shouted the rabbi --- "You didn't say your dog was Jewish!"
