Bruno, a sweet little dog, has gone viral on social media after his owner shared a heartwarming video of him joining her in prayer.
As she holds her rosary, Bruno gently offers his paw so they can “pray together,” a gesture that has touched hundreds of thousands of social media users.
The video, originally posted on the TikTok account @Lorenam71, shows the woman sitting on her couch with a rosary in hand, ready to begin praying.
“Come, let’s pray,” she says tenderly to her dog.
Bruno immediately walks over, sits in front of her, and extends his paw—almost as if he’s eager to join in. As the woman prays the Lord’s Prayer, each time she releases his paw, Bruno offers it again, insistently holding it throughout the prayer.
When they finish, Bruno stays still and attentive, patiently waiting for his owner’s cue that they’re done.
“You understand better than most, don’t you, Bruno? We’re done. Amen. Now, go over there,” she says gently, letting him know the prayer time has ended.

“You can tell he goes to six o’clock Mass ❤️🥺.”
“He doesn’t want to leave because he wants to pray the rosary 😭.”
“Animals must feel something in those moments, maybe because of the way we speak. My mom’s cats used to sit with my parents during rosary time during the pandemic. Once we finished praying, they’d get up and keep playing.”
