I’m probably reading this wrong, but “gourou” (狗肉) is dog meat in Chinese.

Given that the hosting site is on a French domain, I'm guessing this is the intended meaning.

Ah, I thought it was a play on "loup-garou", which is french[-canadian] for "werewolf". Though odd spelling did confuse me... :)

'ro' is not valid Pinyin. Do you mean 'ru'?
