A Stray Dog Became A Monk In The Funniest And Sweetest Way



A Stray Dog Became A Monk In The Funniest And Sweetest Way

This is Friar Bigotón (Friar Moustache), the stray dog who has just become a member of a St Francis Monastery in Cochabamba at Bolivia. A saint, famous as the patron of animals, was the reason why the dog was adopted since the monks are expected to help stray animals.

Now the dog lives happily enjoying his life as a monk. “His life is almost exclusively about playing and running,” fellow Friar Jorge Fernandez mentioned at The Dodo. “Here, all of the brothers truly love him. He is a creature of God.”

Friar even wears a habit as a monk. Possibly inspired by his outfit, the dog was caught seriously following to his religious duties: “[Here’s] Brother Carmelo preaching to the fish,” said Franciscan Kasper Mariusz Kaproń, who was the first to post these adorable pictures on the Internet.



“If only every church of our country [would] adopt a dog and love it like we love and care for Friar Bigotón,” Proyecto Narices Frías (Cold Nose Project), a local animal rescue, wrote in his post on Facebook, “we are certain that the parishioners would follow his example.”

The Cambodian Artist is Taking Doodling To Another Level

Cambodian artist Visoth Kakvei masterfully brings together symbolism and style, and no sketchbook has enough pages for his creativity. The 27-year-old graphic designer usually draws his works freehand and the pieces take 3-6 hours to finish, but sometimes Kakvei feels it's not enough. So, to make his incredibly intricate maze-like illustrations even more stunning, the artist digitally enhances them, making the doodles appear as if they're popping out from the pages. His mostly nature-inspired designs have already earned Visoth a staggering 800k following on Instagram and his fan army only keeps on growing.   #1 #2   #3   #4 #5   #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 boredpanda.com

Do People with Social Anxiety and High IQs Have a Rare Psychic Gift?

Are sensitive, empathic, intelligent people, predisposed to social anxiety, and taking on the energy of others more prone to anxiety, drug and alcohol addictions, and mental health disorders, or do they bear a highly rare, psychic gift? The answer might be both. From recent scientific research, it turns out that the empathic, sensitive mind is more prone to mental health disorders because they are more in tune with what is going on around them. These people aren’t “crazy,” as many articles would like us to believe, but   anxiously searching for an answer to subtle psychic cues they take in from their environment – sometimes around the clock, seven days a week . Considering the many modes of mind control currently being used on the population to alter their emotional states – from  Artificial Intelligence , to  alien implants , and even military industrial experiments  that have proven to interact with our nervous system and brain – is it any wo...

10,000 Dogs To Be Murdered At Chinese Dog Eating Festival

WARNING! Graphic content below: The  Yulin Dog Meat Festival  that takes place annually is about to begin in less than a month. No matter how many actions have been taken against it, the festival is still happening. If you are unaware of the festival, thousands of cats and dogs are killed and eaten. In 2016, around  10,000 dogs and cats were murdered during the festival , which takes place in Guangxi Zhuang, an autonomous region in China's South-East. According to vendors of the dog and cat meat, the animals are killed in a humane way. However, those who protest against the festival claim that dogs are captured in cages with other animals and are either bludgeoned to death or skinned alive in public. Then they are turned into meat and sold on the streets. Many have reported that they've seen caged dogs or cats wearing collars, which suggests that they might be stolen pets. As  Daily Petition  reports, "every year, more than 10, 000 dogs are brought fro...
