The Shih Tzu might have a funny face, but it has a royal background that stretches back over a thousand years. While its roots lie in Tibet, early records show dogs like the Shih Tzu were seen in China as far back as 1000 B.C. These early pups were likely mixed with breeds like the Pekingese or Pug to create the Shih Tzu we know and love today. Its name even means “Little Lion,” which matches its proud and playful spirit.
From its early days in Asia, the Shih Tzu eventually made its way to Europe and later to the United States, thanks to military members who brought them over. Today, these adorable dogs are a favorite among pet lovers. Shih Tzus are small in size—usually weighing between 9 to 16 pounds and standing about 8 to 11 inches tall. They live around 10 to 16 years and are known for their long, silky hair that grows quickly. You can find them in many colors, including a delicious-looking chocolate shade. That leads us to the star of this story: George Cowboy.
Meet George Cowboy: The Chocolate Fluff Ball
George Cowboy, often lovingly called Georgie, is a chocolate-colored Shih Tzu bursting with charm and personality. Don’t let his tiny size fool you—this little guy is packed with energy. In fact, he seems to defy gravity.
Believe it or not, George has become famous for his “flying” skills. We’re not kidding—he looks like a furry Superman in many of his photos, caught mid-air as if he’s about to save the world (or maybe just his favorite toy).
He’s also known by another adorable name: “Wookiee boy.” If you’ve seen Star Wars, you’ll notice George resembles the towering Wookiee, Chewbacca. But at times, his cuteness makes him look more like one of the tiny Ewoks. Either way, his look is one-of-a-kind, and his expressions are priceless.
