Praying dog

It's sooooooooooooooo cute.

This earnest dog is 1 1/2-year-old black-and-white Chihuahua named Conan.

At Naha's Shuri Kannondo temple in Okinawa, Conan joins in the daily prayers with his perfect manners.  Surprisingly, it took him only a few days to learn the motions. Wow.

The master, priest Joei Yoshikuni says, "I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it, too,  Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate," he explained. "It's not like we can make him cross his legs"
