==Etymology==
Foo dog is a corruption of ''fu dog'', another term for the [[Wikipedia:Chinese guardian lions|Chinese lion guardians]] frequently seen in statue form at the entrances of buildings. In Japan, they are known as ''shishi'' or ''komainu''.

The two Foo dogs being paired with Master Kung can form a name that is based on the word "kung-fu" (Master ''Kung'' and ''Foo'' dog).
