Jan 13, 2012: Japanese worship with their pets
 These Japanese women and dogs are at Ichigaya Kamegaoka Hachimangu in Tokyo, Japan. It's a shrine, and they are offering prayers for the New Year. The shrine specially arranges the dates for pet-owners and their pets to offer the prayers together. |

When I was a kid, we went every year to the Portuguese blessing of the cows. They would wash the cows and decorate them with flowers. The congregation would gather around the cows in the plaza while the priest said a blessing and sprinkled the cows with Holy Water.

They certainly do look alike.
I Googled images of Japanese dog breeds and, after the first 200 or so results, have not come across this one. Kind of cute little guys. Anyone know the breed? |

My dog is a heathen.
She will 'stay' and 'stop' but she won't 'pray'.

They look very healthy and groomed but the costuming is just wrong.

Maybe that's why they look so angry.

They just look like ordinary (if expensive and styled) dogcoats. Looking at the parka style coats the owners are wearing it may just be very cold. Chihuahas aren't exactly built for freezing.
