Slonimer,
Reminds me the story of the Steipler; once a Secular couple from Tel Aviv had a beloved pet dog that was sick and the vet said there is nothing they can do, they heard later from friends that there is holy Rabbi in the neighboring city of Bnei Brak, who people refer to blessings, and which many have been helped. So they arrive to the home of the Steipler and explain thier troubling situation. The Steipler not wanting to C’V to offend anyone replied, “as with all the ones I pray for, I need to know the (dogs) mother’s name, otherwise I can’t pray for her so if you can please get back with the name I will gladly accommodate you…”
