Saint it ain't so

The term patron saint is meaningless to a dog.  Its like debating the acting merits of Nicholas Cage, not a paramount discussion.  Not sure how the concept of a patron saint came into existence, but it did and we have an ever-growing list of causes and saints.  There are no patron sinners, just saints.  Some tequila lovers do know of the Patron-brand saint.  Imagining there is a patron saint of all dogs (St. Bernard gets the logical nomination).  Sadly, the very animal they are the patron saint of does not know they exist.  That's heavy stuff.  In the alternate-universe dog-world there are partially submerged bathtubs in dog lawns with a statue of a St. Bernard enshrined.
