Pekingese
A breed with a lion-like appearance and a regal bearing, the Pekingese was once the sacred companion of Chinese royalty. Known for their flat faces and long, flowing coats, they are independent yet deeply loyal to their chosen humans. Despite their small size, they possess a surprisingly bold and dignified personality.
