Has walking the dog become a chore, rather than a joy? Do you find yourself apologizing to your puppy that you can't play right now?

A trip to the Dog Chapel in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, can be a treat and a bonding opportunity for you both. You'll definitely see a look of gratitude in those soulful, round eyes... a look I'd never see if I took Spike to a Cat Chapel (which is, of course, why there isn't one!).

If you've recently lost a pet dog, the Dog Chapel is also a place to find comfort and solace and to honor the memory of your furry family member.

Like me, though, you may find that you enjoy visiting the Dog Chapel even if you've never owned a dog. It's a unique work of artistry in a lovely setting where you can't help but be reminded to cherish life, relationships and simple pleasures. All those who we love--including our animal companions--live on as long as we hold fond memories in our hearts.
