#franciscan monks

A sense of humor might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a monastery, but it turns out some monks in Bolivia have a great one. Photos posted to Facebook of a dog named Friar Bigotón (Friar Moustache) adopted by a Francisan monastery in Cochabamba, Bolivia, have gone viral. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the founder of the Franciscan order. (Courtesy Kasper Mariusz Kapron Ofm)
