what looks the most like lions and why?

Do you know what looks the exsactly as a lion? Well if you dont its a type of dog and do you know what type of dog? Its called a chow chow. The reason why lions look like chow chows is because chow chows have fluffy hair they have the same face and also how I know is because when ever I take my dog for a walk and a kid or a grownup passes by me they either shake or screem or go on the other street.
