The Emperor would chose four of these dogs, who would travel with him on official visits. Two of the dogs would go before the Emperor and announce his appearance with their sharp barks. Two others would follow closely behind and keep the royal robes off the ground in their teeth.
They were sometimes even given official titles like Viceroy and Imperial Guardsmen.",
