Temple going to the dogs
Fri Sep 16,10:31 AM ET
The newest acolyte at a temple on an outlying South Korea island is a
dog who has learned to sit, stay and perform Buddhist prayer rituals
alongside the monks.
Monks at Buljang Temple on Chindo island off the southwest coast said
the stray called "Hama" now joined them at prayer.
Hama -- Korean for hippopotamus -- follows monks into the temple and
bows in the same manner for prayer, a temple official said. Some local
Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation, are wondering what Hama may
have been in a past life.
"Since about a month ago, when the monks were performing a ceremony
paying respect to Buddha, they were joined by this one-year-old dog,"
the official said by telephone.
Hama is one of a traditional Korean breed called chindo, which
originated on the island.
Hama's exploits have made the national news in South Korea and attracted
a lot of curious onlookers to the temple, where about 30 other stray
dogs live.
"The dog bows just like a monk," said college student Park Sang-jin, who
visited the temple after hearing about Hama.

In this case, doggy see, doggy do, but I thought that dogs would be
smarter.
