Call it the power of the kippah.

Our new favorite Instagram account @Jewishmemes2 uploaded a video of a very cute dog donning a yarmulke (we’re already sold) who refuses to eat the mixture of salami and cheese being handed to him. However, once the yarmulke comes off, he happily snacks away.

Check out the world’s most devout Kosher dog below:

Is it better to take your yamulka off when you do an avaira? Does that make it ok? Or shud you wear a white shirt when you go clubbing bec hey ur still a yeshiva guy and not hiding #MikesOnAMotz”Sh Im not paskening or anything but myb this dog is telling us something!! #SayNoToTreif #MakeAKiddushHashem #TakeItOff #HowDoYouKnowImJewish Comment below to tell me what you think… Personally I’ll wear a yamulka as a shmira but I have plenty of friends who take it off
