Wonder why the dog responds to bells and goes to mass? Could it be because it knows people are there that will feed it?
Actually it says people around town
feed and water it. When it goes to Mass it just sits there in silence and, for some reason, I don't think the Priest has a doggie-buffet consisting of all you can eat wine and wafers waiting for it.
And I guess you overlooked the numerous other examples that exist where dogs wait for/guard their owners, deceased or not, for years? Look it up.
