Pugs, Shih Tzus, Pekingese, Chow Chows, and Shar Peis may look like cute little pets today — but their names hide some incredible stories from Chinese history.

In this video, we uncover the real Chinese origins of some of the world’s most famous dog breeds. Why does the pug have a “king” mark on its face? Why was the Shih Tzu once called the “lion dog”? How did the Pekingese become connected to a lion, a butterfly, and the Buddha? And why was one royal Chinese dog almost wiped off the planet?

From imperial palaces and ancient legends to dog names connected with Xi Shi, one of China’s Four Great Beauties, this is the hidden history behind China’s most famous dogs.
