“Why was the cannibal looking peeky?”/“Because he had just eaten a Chinese dog.”

A cannibal riddle is:
 
Q: Why was the cannibal looking peeky?
A: Because he had just eaten a Chinese dog.

 
That would probably be a Pekingese to make the cannibal feel “peeky.” The joke has been cited in print since at least 2004.
 
   
Wikipedia: Pekingese
The Pekingese (also known as the Lion Dog, Peking Lion Dog, Pelchie Dog, or Peke) is an ancient breed of toy dog, originating in China. They are called Lion Dogs due to their resemblance to Chinese guardian lions (the Shih Tzu is also known as a Lion Dog in Chinese).
 
The breed was favored by royalty of the Chinese Imperial court as both a lap dog and companion dog, and its name refers to the city of Peking (Beijing) where the Forbidden City is located. The breed has several characteristics and health issues related to its unique appearance. Because of its desirable characteristics, the Pekingese has been part of the development of designer crossbreeds, such as the Peekapoo (crossed with a poodle) and Peke-a-tese (crossed with a Maltese).
