Foo dogs, also called stone temple lions or guardian lions, are legendary creatures from Chinese mythology that symbolize protection, loyalty, and prosperity. They are often depicted in pairs, with one having its mouth open and the other having its mouth closed, representing the beginning and end of all things and the balance of yin and yang in the universe.
