A statuette of a dog doing namaste is cute. But the animated gif below of a dog and his human saluting each other is just beautiful.
Technically neither of them is doing a “namaste” since that’s a verbal greeting—hence the scare quotes in the subject line of this post.
They’re performing the añjali mudrā, which is the respectful putting together of hands, accompanied by a bow.
Just thought you’d want to know :)
