LÖWCHEN

The Little Lion Dog of the Middle Ages

The Prince of Beasts

The legend is that, amongst the Crusading Knights of the Middle Ages, it was
   custom for a Knight who died in battle to be depicted with his foot on the body
 of a Lion. If he died but not of battle, then he was depicted with a Little Lion
Dog at his feet.
Similarly, the Knight ladies were depicted with a Löwchen on their tombs.
Groomed and trimmed to resemble a lion in miniature, it too symbolized
leonine courage.
Though on a slightly lesser degree than the King of Beasts.
