A grieving man went to see his Rabbi and asked if he would arrange to say Kaddish (mourner prayers) for the dog.

The rabbi said, "Kaddish is only for humans, not for animals. However, there's a new Reform congregation down the street a block or two. You go there and ask if they'll say Kaddish for the dog; they may just be crazy enough to do this for you."

The old man thanked him, and asked, "Do you suppose they'll also accept my $175,000 donation in memory of my little Moishe?"

"Hold it!", shouted the rabbi, "You didn't tell me your dog was Jewish!"
