“HEY ED!” “OH — HI FATHER CHRIS.” Students at St. Joseph Elementary School love to shout out to their pastor, Father Chris Ankley, as he walks the halls, but who is this “Ed”? Why, it’s his beloved companion, a nine-year-old Cockapoo. Father Chris, who was a practicing veterinarian for more than a decade before entering the seminary, doesn’t mind taking second billing to his popular canine, who he named after one of his favorite former patients. The kids obviously love both pooch and priest.
