Praying pup

Now this is amusing. A dog goes to a temple with his Zen Buddhist master, sits up, puts his little paws together and "prays."

NAHA, Japan - At a Zen Buddhist temple in southern Japan, even the dog prays. Mimicking his master, priest Joei Yoshikuni, a 1 1/2-year-old black-and-white Chihuahua named Conan joins in the daily prayers at Naha's Shuri Kannondo temple, sitting up on his hind legs and putting his front paws together before the altar.

4 years, it was awesome.
We actually got a puppy while we were there and brought her back to the states with us, a really cute Japanese breed called Shiba Inu.
