Every year the Vatican offers a blessing of the animals ceremony. This year Pope Francis (who took his name from Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals), met with everything from horses to chickens, dogs, and cows. Want to get your pet in on the action? Be sure to check the dates. This year the event was held on Jan. 17 to coincide with the feast of Saint Anthony the Great. But in the past, events have also been held on World Animal Day, Oct. 4.
