http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1993659.html?menu= A three year old German Shepherd dog has reportedly taken up yoga in India.
Hritik practices traditional exercises under the watchful eyes of his trainer in Ranchi, reports the Mumbai Mirror.
Nanda Dulal said: "He was weak when he was born. We took special care of him and he gradually became strong after his yoga lessons.
"He started imitating me two years ago, and now sits beside me when I perform yoga. He follows my asanas(yoga techniques) including my breathing.
"When I found that he wanted to do yoga I started training him. Now both of us do yoga together every morning."
It is reported that the animal helps in household chores, is a vegetarian and loves to eat ripe papayas and cucumber.

Why not? If he can get his back legs wrapped round the back of his ears and stick his head up his ***, then anything is possible

I am a Yoga Instructor and when I do my practice, two (of my 3) dogs come into the studio, lie down and intently watch me. They also zone out at the end when we go into relaxation pose-and they fall asleep. One of my dogs has bad arthritis, and I do asanas for her, like a physical therapy. Laugh if you want, but she went from medicine 3 times a day, to 1 baby aspirin, once a day and is walking better and doing the stairs again. I have yet to see my dogs actually do any of the poses, but, hey you never know!!!!

If he wants to join in, who's to stop him!
Can't think the diet would do him any good though - vegetarianism isn't healthy for carnivores or their bowels...

Sure why not, he probably just loves being around his owner, like most dogs.

my cat can wreck your dog, due to the fact that you would make your dog gay the minute it starts doing yoga
