Dogs are just too pure for this world. And there is no better example of this, than the videos of the temple dog handing out blessings.

In a now-viral video, we see a dog who is sitting outside the Siddhivinayak Temple, which is located in Mumbai, India.

As people walk out of the temple, the dog greets each one of the devotees and administers his own version of a “blessing.”

These doggie blessings are simple little high fives or handshakes as each person greets the pup. A bystander standing outside the temple ended up filming the adorable interactions.

But based on the footage, we can only assume that this “holy pooch” is a regular fixture at the temple, as it appears the people are familiar with his blessings routine.

There is even one man who seems to have brought snacks specifically for the dog.

Now that is definitely a place of worship that I’d happily frequent if it meant getting a doggie blessing.

The videos were originally uploaded to Facebook by Arun Limadia where they quickly went viral. Since then, they have received thousands upon thousands of likes. There is still no word on the dog’s identity and whether or not it’s a stray. But what we can say for sure is, these are some cute videos to watch.
