Petite Bunny

What you know about Chow Chow dog? I have no idea till I saw one. I was amazed by the fur and it look like a bear or a lion face to me.

Chow Chow or Chow is a breed of dog that was first developed in Mongolia about 4000 years ago. And was later introduced into China, where it is referred to as Songshi Quan which literally means Puffy Lion Dog.

It is believe that the Chow Chow is one of the native dogs used as the original model for the creation of the Chinese guardian lions in ancient China. When no one had ever seen a real lion before when stories reached China that Buddhist temples and Monasteries in India were being guarded by the traditional stone lions found in front of Buddhist temples and places in India. Hearing the stories carried there by Buddhist monks traveling from India the Chinese sculptors modeled statues of Fu or Foo lions, the lions of Buddha after these native dogs and created an icon of an animal never before seen in China, the Chinese guardian lions.
