In general, dogs aren't known for decorum around the dinner table, but this respectful pooch actually takes a moment to pray before noshing on a bowl of food. Could you imagine a cat giving thanks before a meal? Never gonna happen.

As his owner recites a quick prayer, this god-fearing pup patiently stands on his hind legs and holds his front paws together. Then, after the prayer is finished, he buries his face in the food and goes to town.

Do dogs go to heaven? Depending upon how you read the Bible, it's unclear. But this pious pup just might be a shoo-in. Of course, this video could just be an example of positive reinforcement and training, but we prefer to think otherwise.
