Friar Bigotón (Friar Moustache) is a stray dog in Bolivia who has had the good fortune of being adopted by monks in the aptly named St. Francis Monastery in Cochabamba.
The schnauzer dog even has his own habit.

‘Sometimes we brothers have a laugh among ourselves and there is a brother here that is also called Carmelo, who has a moustache, so that was sort of the inspiration [behind his name]’, one of the friars has said.
‘We had some puppets in the church that we used to amuse children, and one of puppets was wearing a habit, so we thought we'd use it’, he continued.
The Monastery has said that they have been inundated with requests from visitors since he arrived to live with them.
