Pope Francis met with marine search and rescue dogs and their trainers in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City Wednesday.
The dogs are from the Onlus rescue dogs lifeguard school in Bari, the capital of the Southern Italian region of Apulia. The pope met with them during his weekly general audience.
Photos show Pope Francis smiling as he greets the dogs, which included a chocolate Labrador retriever and golden retriever, among others.
The trainers presented the pope with a red T-shirt from the lifeguard school....
