A two year old long haired, male Chihuahua named Conan has followed his master, a Buddhist priest’s lead and together, they pray.

Conan resides at a Buddhist Temple on Japan’s Southern Island, Okinawa. Conan sits next to his master, Joei Yoshikuni, facing a Buddhist deity and clasps his paws together in prayer position. When the priest chants and raises his clasped hands, Conan follows, raising his paws and joining them at the tip of his nose.

Originally the temple pet, and now the temple’s main attraction, Yoshikuni guesses that Conan’s unique behavior has raised tourist travels to the temple by 30 percent.

First a paragliding Chihuahua, now a praying one…What’s up with these Chihuahuas?
