The Griffon Bruxellois or Brussels Griffon is a breed of dog, named for the city of their origin, Brussels, Belgium. Part of the toy dog category, the breed is generally small, with a flat face, prominent chin, and large wide-set eyes that gives the Griffon an almost human expression—and they are often compared to an Ewok.

History
To help keep rats away, Belgium coachmen used to keep small terriers called Griffons d?Ecurie in their stables. At some point in the 1800s, these coachmen bred their Griffons with the Pug. Since then, the breed has evolved into an alert and devoted companion.
