Meet Friar Bigotón (Friar Moustache), the stray doggie who just became a member of a St Francis Monastery
The saint after which the Franciscan order was established is known as the patron of animals…
So it’s only natural that the monks extended their helping hand to the canine living on the streets
Now he is one happy doggie who gets to enjoy life to the fullest. “His life is all about playing and running”
“Here, all of the brothers love him very much. He is a creature of God”
The doggie even gets to wear a habit. Maybe inspired by his outfit, he was caught attending to his monk duties
“[Here’s] Brother [Bigotón] preaching to the fish”
The doggie’s adoption was initiated by Proyecto Narices Frías (Cold Nose Project), a local animal rescue
They hope it will inspire other monasteries to help pets in need
“If only all the churches [would] adopt a dog… we are sure that the parishioners would follow the example”
