Conan, the praying Dog

This photo reminds me of an old joke.

Joe Schmo, an agnostic dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter is showing him around. “That cloud over there, with the fruit trees and fountains is where the Muslims are, and that cloud over there with all the bald ladies meditating is for the Buddhists. You can just barely see the Zorastrians behind them” Joe points to cloud with a very high-very thick wall around it.
“Hey Pete, whats up with that cloud with the big wall?” Pete cringes.
“Shhh, keep it down. That cloud is for the Christians. They think they’re the only ones here.”

Conan, the Praying Dog

Conan the praying dog folds his paws in prayer alongside a Buddhist priest at Shuri-kannondo temple in Naha city, Okinawa province, Japan.

The eighteen month old long haired chihuahua stands up in prayer when the temple priest performs his sutras.

Apparently, Conan also prays before going out for walks, or before feeding time.

Conan was named after the mystery writer, Arthur Conan Doyle. Not, sadly, Conan the Barbarian.
