Dog to God

This news is a bit old but I thought I must really write it here! Praying is a good meditative practise. It may also get your wishes granted sometimes. Maybe thats why Conan prays. At a Zen Buddhist temple in the Jigenin temple in Okinawa, Japan, Conan the one and half year old pet chihuahua joins the monks in their daily prayers. The dog takes his position next to the priest, Joei Yoshikuni, sits on his hind legs, raises his paws and joins them together at the tip of his nose. Yoshikuni estimates that the number of visitors, especially younger ones, has increased by nearly 30%. He says Conan might be expressing his gratitude for his treats and walks.
