The Rev. Canon Lloyd Casson has a soft spot in his heart for animals, including his own Shih Tzu named Zac. As pastor of the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew in Wilmington he also has a soft spot for the spiritual well-being of animals.
Casson presides over the annual Blessing of the Animals, with this year's event at 1 p.m. Saturday at the church, 719 N. Shipley St. It is open to pet owners of all faiths. After a brief liturgy, each animal will receive a blessing, a St. Francis medallion and treats.
If your pet requires special handling -- I'm thinking if it's a snake or pot-bellied pig -- or precautions, call the church at 656-6628.
