Why do Chow dogs have blue tongues?
The orgin of the Chow’s black tongue is a mystery; no one knows how or why they came to have it. There is an ancient myth, however: “When god created the world, one dog was allowed to lick up the pieces of sky that fell to earth as the stars were set in place. That dog was the chow, and ever since chows have had blue tongues.” Another myth tells that while God was painting the sky blue, a Chow was following Him and cleaned the drops that fell with his tongue.
