The Schnauzer named Carmelo was adopted by a Franciscan Monastery in Bolivia and has quickly become the Monks favourite brother. He was welcomed into the fold, christened Fray Bigotón (Friar Moustache) and enjoys preaching to the fish in his tiny, Franciscan habit.

Friar Moustache was rescued from the streets of Bolivia with the help of the rescue group Proyecto Narices Frías (The Cold Nose Project). The rescue group and the Monastery hope that Friar Moustache’s story will convince more Monasteries to open their doors to animals in need.
