A living dog is raised to guard the living world but a stone dog \u201cis raised\u201d to guard the spiritual world. In old times, the Vietnamese had a custom of worshipping dogs in different forms. They would have a stone dog buried by the front gate of a house, on a pedestal, or on a worship altar, with the belief that the dog would chase away bad spirits and bring good luck to the house. The stone dog is the guardian as well as a deity for people to worship.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the stone dog on both ends of the old Japanese Bridge, a very popular tourist destination in the old town, Hoi An, one of the UNESCO cultural heritage sites in Central Vietnam.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_403\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-403\" class=\" wp-image-403\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/vietnamese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/07\/friends-3042751_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"299\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Sven Lachmann from Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"196\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/vietnamese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/07\/Meeko-e1626714144996-196x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/vietnamese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/07\/Meeko-e1626714144996-196x350.jpg 196w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/vietnamese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/07\/Meeko-e1626714144996-573x1024.jpg 573w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/vietnamese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/07\/Meeko-e1626714144996.jpg 738w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><p>Last week, I wrote a blog about cats.
