Of Mouse and Men ... err actually of Mouse and other critters

Shecky:
Well, if he's a foo, he's a BIG foo. :)

Valarian:

Looks pretty big to me, or am I just a wimp? :)

On topic, is a Tibetan Mastiff the same breed as a Chinese Foo Dog?
I think with the recent references in the books, it's likely that Mouse is a Foo Dog (Temple Guardian).

The Tibetan Mastiff is not the same breed as a Chinese Foo Dog.

Gathers Scrolls:
There's also the paired 'foo dog'/lion statues that are supposed to be guardians, I've also seen concrete ones outside of Chinese restaurants. I think those satues were supposed to be what the foo dog breed was supposed to look like, only in a compact model (unless wikipedia has led me astray) ;) .
Most teeny dogs I've seen seem to think they're the size of Mouse. :D

One of my favorite things about Mouse, actually, is that's he's blatantly "just" a dog.  A scarily smart dog, sure.  Person-smart, easily, and probably smarter than lots of people.  And gifted with a sort of anti-monster moxie.  But still emphatically a dog in the way he behaves, his priorities, etc.  Hilarious, and (I think) really convincingly done.

One of my favorite characters from the classic "So You Want To Be A Wizard" series was much the same way.
