Abstract
Olga relays a legend. When god was dividing bread, humans got nothing. The dog howled, complaining that it did not get bread either. After getting a piece, the dog gave it to humans. Hence, monks teach people to be generous to dogs. Cats are regarded by the Kalmyks as ‘Buddha’s dogs’ i.e. sacred animals.
