Meet Friar Bigotón (Friar Moustache), an adorable stray doggo who is a faithful member of a St Francis Monastery in Cochabamba, Bolivia. This pooch's licks are like holy water, and many say he is a prophet. Just kidding! But he is one sweet dog, that is for sure. The monks at the Monastery extended their helping hand to Friar, who was living on the streets at the time. Now this doggo is running around, getting lots of cuddles, and living his fluffy life to the fullest.

Friar Bigotón wears a cute outfit that shows just how serious he is about his holy duties. The monks encourage others to adopt animals, and we love the fact they are for this amazing cause. They truly inspired us. Scroll down to read more about this cute canine and also to look at all the adorable pictures of him strutting about, doing his 'duties'.

For more, here are some feisty felines that are weirdly stuck in glitch mode, but charming all the same.
