Can You Drink Coffee If You Have Colitis

Conan ... the Buddhist dog! In Japan, for the fire alarm


It 's a fervent religious and it is not unusual to see in the Zen Buddhist temple' Shuri Kannondo 'Naha, Japan, where he went to pray. A zampe giunte. Già, perché si tratta di un piccolo Chihuahua bianco e nero di un anno e mezzo, un cagnolino che risponde al nome di Conan e che non perde occasione per accompagnare il suo padrone, Joei Yoshikuni, al tempio buddista.

Si posizionano davanti all'altare, Yoshikuni inginocchiato, Conan seduto sulla zampe posteriori e con le anteriori giunte in segno di preghiera. E lo fa tutte le volte che il padrone si inginocchia per pregare. "Penso che abbia imparato guardando me, mentre prego", ha detto Yoshikuni, il padrone del cane.

E, vista la facilità di apprendimento del suo Conan, ora Yoshikuni chiederà al piccolo Chihuahua qualcosa in più: imparare la meditazione, naturalmente a zampe crossed.
