Yes...the "prayer position" looks like a stretch...but once he gets his front legs down, his hind legs stay up and he doesn't move. He gets a funny look on his face and looks scared. When Buddy gets up from laying down and stretches, he usually stretches with his hind legs up first, then stands up and stretches his back legs out straight...so, the first part of his stretch looks as though he's doing the prayer position....it kind of looks like he is "kneeling."
