This is the amusing moment a pet Bichon dog gazed at its owner in a praying posture while playing with a brick.

The white Bichon, with a blue-dyed tail, was spotted playing with a small brick it had found on the road in Heilongjiang, China, on May 4.

Footage shows the dog pawing at the brick and even bowing to it while barking. When it was time to go, the pooch refused to leave it behind, whining to its owner as if asking to take the brick home.

Eager to keep playing with its newfound toy, it moved its paw into a begging position in front of its owner, seemingly requesting permission to keep the brick.

Bichon Frises are known to be natural people-pleasers with high intelligence. They are also prone to separation anxiety and dislike being left alone for long periods.
