Guardians of the neighborhood

I found a Feng Shui article on the web, "Guardians of the Gate for your Home."

For choices of guardians, it lists the Virgin Mary, the Archangel Michael, Indian mandalas, Chinese lions, temple guardians, mezuzahs, and, in some cases, gargoyles.

But I didn’t see these two on the list…

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
