Prayer Before Eating

Hello my dear steemians! That's my loyal house guard at the back. We call him butchoy. He can be ferocious to outsiders but he's very obedient and amazingly lenient to fellow animals. He just watched when some stray chicken mom with her chicks are around and taking part of his leftovers unlike my two little fury Shih Tzus.

I've captured this image and it came to my mind: "Perhaps he was praying before eating just like us human beings or was it a simple secret wish of my dog?
