Hello all! I was remembering I saw an offering on e-bay for a pair of Foo dogs and wanted to look them up in the encyclopedia to see what they were like. Oddly enough I didn't find a listing and was actually thinking they were a natural choice for a protective companion. Does anyone have any expirence with these guys? Have they ever been offered in the store? I admit I have been away for a bit but I would like to think I wouldn't have missed these guys.

Why yes it was. Your memory is better than mine lol. Is this just a one time listing or will there be more of them? Has anyone seen others listed?

Indeed it would appear they are Foo dogs. Have Magnolia and Ash offered any of these before?

It is natural not to understand various differences of the expression of different culture.

It's a feng shui thing from taoist origins supposedly the statues are meant to preserve wealth and keep out robbers and crush the competition. That's why you'll see many Asian shopping centers with them near the front door.
There's a book that sold out called Lighting the Eyes of the Dragon that talks more about taoist superstitions.
Search for Fu Dogs.
