Pretty much speechless about this one. I’ll let the BBC take over:

Attendance at a Buddhist temple in Japan has increased since the temple’s pet, a two-year-old dog, has joined in the daily prayers.

Conan, a Chihuahua, sits on his hind legs, raises his paws and puts them together at the tip of his nose.



“He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks,” says a priest at Jigenin temple on Okinawa island.

Priest Joei Yoshikuni would like Conan to meditate, but “it’s not like we can make him cross his legs”, he says.

“Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate,” he told Associated Press news agency.

Mr. Yoshikuni said it only took Conan a few days to imitate the motions of praying.

“I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it too,” he said.

Jigenin temple now gets 30% more visitors than it did before Conan joined in the prayers, Mr. Yoshikuni said.

Well, I’d like to be able to tell you that this is a game show, or that this is a reality show, or that this is a news show, but the truth of the matter is that I just don’t know. Nor do I really care. All that really matters is the panda pile-driver attempt at 0:46. This little dude might be just perfect for Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling, which debuts this fall…. Or?

From Reuters:

Jun. 25 - A rare set of white tiger triplets have become the star attractions at a zoo in Higashikagawa, western Japan.

Born at the Shirotori Zoo only one month ago, the yet-to-be-named trio have become an instant hit with visitors to the zoo who can have their photo taken with the cubs.

White tigers are practically extinct in the wild but the three cubs are the second litter for the resident adult white tiger couple at the zoo bringing the total number of white tiger cubs at the park to seven.

The next time you’re passing through Kishi Station on the Kishigawa Line in Kinokawa, Japan, make sure you give Tama a high paw. The cat, born and raised in the station, stayed on as stationmaster after the railway was forced to let go of its personnel at the station.

Now Tama sits and snuzzes, keeping an eye on passers-by.
