As Christmas approaches, many churches display Nativity scenes for the public to enjoy. A church in Cricima, Brazil, had just built up their own Nativity scene, and a crowd gathered to admire it. There was an unexpected addition to the scene, much to their amazement. A dog was cuddled up next to baby Jesus, trying to keep warm. As he napped, the dog looked to be at ease.
The puppy resembled a German Shepherd and did not appear to have a home. He had most likely come across the Nativity scene and felt it was the ideal location to rest. He was pleased to have discovered such a lovely spot to stay. Sure, it was convenient for the time being, but this adorable pooch deserved so much more.

The Most Beautiful Nativity Scene
Stray dogs may get quite chilly in the winter, so the puppy was probably enticed to the Nativity scene’s attractive cover and comfy bedding. He was also surrounded by friendly-looking human and animal statues, so he probably felt less lonely. It was only a temporary residence for him, but it was a magnificent and unique scene for everyone passing by.
Everyone was courteous of the dog in the manger, standing and admiring him. They took care not to frighten or shock him. Instead, they were taken with how cute he was, and they will never forget how he served as a “Shepherd” for baby Jesus.
