The dog is an indigenous animal in ancient China proper. The oldest images of the Dog were engraved on a bronze vase from the Zhou Dynasty. The dog is valued for its loyalty, although it is used for many purposes and serves as both a guardian and a scavenger. A dog is a naturally cautious creature and skillfully chooses men. Peking dogs were pets of the imperial family, as mentioned in the records of the Zhou Dynasty in 1000 BC.
