More evidence that animals are superior to humans:

At a Zen Buddhist temple in southern Japan, even the dog prays. Mimicking his master, priest Joei Yoshikuni, a 1 1/2-year-old black-and-white Chihuahua named Conan joins in the daily prayers at Naha's Shuri Kannondo temple, sitting up on his hind legs and putting his front paws together before the altar...Yoshikuni said Conan generally goes through his prayer routine at the temple in the capital of Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture (state) without prompting before his morning and evening meals...."Basically, I am just trying to get him to sit still while I meditate," he explained. "It's not like we can make him cross his legs."

Or that we need to. Dogs already know everything anybody needs to know about one-pointed attention:
