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.

It took him only a few days to learn the motions, and now he is the talk of the town.

"Word has spread, and we are getting a lot more tourists," Yoshikuni said Monday.

Yoshikuni said Conan generally goes through his prayer routine at the temple in the capital of Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture (state) without prompting before his morning and evening meals.

No worries at my house.

My cat's a Baptist. He had a full bath last week. And was he confused.
I was missing that baby Kitten smell, so I used Kitten shampoo that smells
like baby powder. He's 9 months old.
He's the highlite to my life.

So if Tigerwoman's cat and this buddhist dog get in an argument over religion they'll be fighting like cats and dogs?

Our angel in fur masquerades in a golden retriever dog suit. But to know her,would convince you that she is indeed a true angel and has no interest in other religions other than Christianity.
