Temple’s Praying Dog Brings in the Crowds
Posted By Freelance Writers Date: 24/03 Posted Under: Funny DogsA Buddhist temple in Japan is seeing an increase in worshipers as word spreads about a canine prayer leader who has captured the interest of many new attendees.
A two-year old Chihuahua named Conan sits and seemingly worships his very own Dog-almighty.
According to a priest at the Temple:
“He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks”
But the pint sized pet even appears to grasped the art of meditation, something the priests are less sure about his motives for, “it’s not like we can make him cross his legs”, explains one priest.
“Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate,” he told the PA.
“I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it too,” he said.
The temple’s worshiper numbers have seen a dramatic 30% since Conan started praying there.
