From Wikipedia comes this gem:
Looty or Lootie was a female Pekingese dog acquired by Captain John Hart Dunne during the looting of the Old Summer Palace (near Beijing) in October of 1860. He presented her to Queen Victoria for the Royal Collection of Dogs, who named her Looty or Lootie in reference to how she was acquired. Looty may have been the first Pekingese dog to arrive in England.
This is what the breed looks like today thanks to breeders, breed clubs, and Kennel Club judges and "standards":
