Animal owners can get their pets blessed in a special ceremony at Southwell Minster.
Planned for this Sunday, the event is described as “open to all two and four-legged creatures”.
The Revd Canon Jacqui Jones will lead the service from 3.30pm.
She said the regular event, held to “reflect on the importance of creation” has been getting more popular.
“I have noticed throughout this year a growing number of dogs joining us for evensong in the side aisles with their chorister parent owners. They are a welcome addition to our congregation.
“There is not a peep out of them, they must be very relaxed with the atmosphere. However the animal blessing service is not normally a silent affair.”
