A Bolivian Monastery Adopted A Dog And Named Him Friar Mustache
You've all heard of good boys; now prepare yourself for holy boys. St. Francis Monastery in Cochabamba, Bolivia has adopted a local street dog, and he has immediately been allowed into their ranks as a monk. No, we're not joking.
The devout pupper has slotted right into his duties with the other monks, being given the traditional robe, his own habit (monk's quarters), and responsibilities. The best part? They named him Friar Bigotón, which directly translates to Friar Mustache. Amazing, we know. The monks hope that their example will lead other monasteries or churches to follow in their footsteps and take on a holy boy of their own.
Look at his little robes!

The monks hope this success story will help address the significant issue of homeless street dogs in Bolivia by encouraging people to adopt as well.
On his way to prayers, I presume.
Friar Mustache's duties involve running around the monastery and playing with the monks, as well as aiming to assist other dogs that come from the same background as he does.
A big day of work has left this Friar tuckered out.
