This stone Fu Dog is outside of little Potala Palace (somewhere in China, I think) and is female (since there is a cub under paw) by an unknown artist.

Did you know that some Fu Dogs look like they’ve been to battle? This one is missing claws and possibly teeth, and it's bell – I think it has struggled mightily to protect its charge!
