Gouguo may be a fabled nation in Chinese mythology. In Emperor Gaoxin's time, a powerful tribe called Quanrong was mounting frequent attacks on the frontier areas. Worried about the situation, the emperor appealed to the whole country, saying that he would reward anyone who could bring him the head of the tribe's chieftain with his own daughter and a fief with 300 households. The emperor's dog Panhu left without a sign. After three months, it ran into the palace, holding the head of the tribe's chieftain. To keep his promise, the emperor married his daughter to the dog and granted an island in the southeast as the feudal land of Panhu. The new nation was called Nation of Dogs. In this fabled nation, all men are dogs and all women are beautiful girls.
