Fifty-five dogs, a cat and a hamster sat obediently through a brief service at St. George’s-by-the-River Episcopal Church in Rumson before individual blessings by Reverend Ophelia Laughlin Sunday. Afterward, they were rewarded with biscuits, some in the shape of a cross.
“This is one of the most fun days of the year for me,” said Laughlin, the church rector. “Every being is one of God’s creatures.”
