The French word "guardian" is not correct; the correct word is "gardien," which means "guardian" or "caretaker" in English.
The word 'gardien' is used here to denote a person who is responsible for monitoring or protecting a physical location, often referred to as a 'watchman' or 'security guard' in English.
Le gardien surveille l'entrée du bâtiment.
The guardian watches over the building's entrance.
Here, 'gardien' is metaphorically used to signify someone or something that offers protection or safety, in this case, the protective role of the dog.

In this case, 'gardiens' refers to individuals entrusted with the care or custodianship of something sacred or valuable, highlighting a broader sense of responsibility or stewardship.
