Blessing is a Christian tradition. In churchs in Ireland the priest blesses the congregation (the people in the church, who attend the service) with holy water. This means that God likes you, and it's seen as lucky. Therefore we have sayings like: "He must be blessed". Everything that happens to him is good.
In Buddhism a monk will do the same thing, spraying water on you, in the temple.
But I've never seen animals being blessed before. Here is a short video from a church in Ireland, where the priest is blessing all the pets - very funny! I hope you enjoy it.
