Pictures/Video: Praying Dog

Are dogs capable of prayer? Probably not, but one chihuahua in Okinawa is capable of joining his front paws together is a prayer-like position, which is newsworthy:

The dog shown is Conan, a eighteen month old long haired chihuahua that hangs out at the Shuri Kannon-do Temple in Naha City. According to the above video news report, it only took a priest at the temple two days to teach little Conan how to pray.

This isn’t particularly surprising, particularly since they trained it to do this.

A lot of members of my buddhist sect report that their cats and dogs sit down beside them when they pray at their altar. And they’ve done nothing to train them.

I love that dog. Very smart. Did the priest taught him or did he copy by him self?

Trying not to sound like a Japanese school girl, but THAT IS THE CUTEST thing I have seen in awhile. I mean sure its a bit ridiculous, but such a cute dog!

The dog is smarter. It doesn’t believe in gods.
Oops

It’s probably just begging for treats ^_^. Seriously though, if a dog sees its owner do the same thing every single day, then it’ll eventually try to copy their actions. Still, it’s cute.
