Correct answer: Pekingese

The Pekingese was bred exclusively for the Chinese imperial family and was considered sacred. Commoners had to bow to them, and stealing one could result in execution. According to Chinese legend, the breed was created when Buddha shrunk a lion down to the size of a small dog. Photo: SheltieBoy, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0.
