[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 2474547, member: 571"] Stone guardians. According to legend foo dogs would animate whenever somebody trespassed in the area they were set to guard. Large, powerful creatures. Foo dogs started off as foo lions. Ancient China was home to lions at one time. But they were driven into extinction. The first foo lions carved were realistic representations, but as time passed and people forgot when lions looked like foo lion carvings started to look more and more like dogs. This process was helped by the development of the breed we now call the pekinese. The lion dog. In time the pekinese became the model for the foo dog. (BTW, the pekinese is a small dog who thinks it's a large dog. :) ) [/QUOTE]
