San Roque and Guinefort
( the untold story )

After San Roque died, that was not the end of the story. The dog, named Guinefort, lived on, and became part of another noble family. One day the family went out leaving the baby, a nurse, and Guinefort. When the nurse was in another room, a serpent approached the baby, but Guinefort killed it, leaving a fair amount of gore around. When the family returned they saw the blood, thought that Guinefort had harmed the infant, and killed the dog. But then, on closer look, they saw the snake and realized their mistake.
The nobleman buried Guinefort in a well, and planted trees to mark the grave. Local women began bringing their babies to the site, praying to the dog for protection. In days past, the same peasants had made offerings to the fauns and spirits in the area; now they brought their children's clothes and lit candles as ritual offerings. Despite numerous criticisms and attempts to quash the beliefs, a historian passing through the area noted that it was still practiced after World War 1. "Saint" Guinefort even has his own day, August 22. The Catholic Church certainly does not consider Guinefort a saint, but many people appreciate the story and sentiment and continue to tell it.
Roch is the patron saint of dogs because a dog would lick his sores and bring him bread when he was suffering from the plague. Dogs have been known as “man's best friend” for centuries, and even many saints were aided by dogs when they were in need

How do you pray to St. Roch for the healing of dogs?

O Blessed saint Roch, patron saint of dogs, I ask you to pour out your love upon my dog. May my sweet dog always be loving and loyal and be a joy to me and those I love. Carry my dog to the throne of the Father and ask Him to bless my dog with long life and great happiness.
