For Evangelist Dr Taneisha Shaw, the biblical verse “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” is not limited to mankind. It is a command, she believes, that reaches every living creature — including her one-year-old pet dog, London.

Determined that London will enter Heaven’s gates with her, Shaw recently gave her furry friend a baptism, dipping her beloved pup in the Hope River in Papine, St Andrew, recently.

The evangelist told THE WEEKEND STAR that the decision was not made as a joke or for attention, but came after what she described as powerful revelations in her dreams, and a near-death experience involving the animal.
