Yappy dog, briefly

Usage examples of peke.

The cestodes, one of which came from the peke, one from the little bear, were identical: white tapes some twenty-four inches long, with suckers and hooks at the head end.

I had already decided that there was another thing Great God Dangerfield had garbled: far from being an ancient race, the pigmies are neoteric, upstart usurpers who have appeared only recently on the scene to oust the peke and bear people.

Leon Turpin, chairman of the board of directors of Terran Development, heard the news about the Pekes he was fit to be tied.

Both pekes and bears had little black monkey-like paws, many of which were now raised as if in supplication as the ecologists approached.

An excited rabble of pigmies milled everywhere, converging on a large, decaying tree stump, upon which two of their kind stood in full view, the screaming peke held tightly between them.

The pigmies, some of whom were still quarrelling over the pelts of the dead peke and bear, took no notice of them or the fire as the men pelted past.
