Chinese zodiac: Dog

  • Loyal
  • Honest
  • Fair
  • Protective
  • Responsible
  • Anxious

In China the Dog is the symbol of loyalty and protection, seen as a reliable, honest friend who guards the home. People born in the Year of the Dog share these qualities: they have a strong sense of justice, stay devoted to those they trust to the very end and do not stay silent in the face of injustice. They have a simple, sincere manner, free of pretension.

The Dog is cautious and anxious by nature; it thinks through possible worst-case scenarios in advance, which at times turns into pessimism or an overly critical attitude. If its trust is damaged, it does not make peace easily. The support and reliability it offers those close to it make it indispensable in long-lasting relationships.

Love and relationships

In love the Dog is loyal, honest and protective; in close relationships, trust is everything to it. It keeps its word and makes sacrifices for its partner. Its anxious nature can lead it to dwell on negative scenarios; open communication and reassuring behavior put the relationship at ease. It is compatible with the Tiger, Horse and Rabbit and may clash with the Dragon and Rooster.

Career

The Dog succeeds in justice- and service-oriented fields such as law, healthcare, education, social work, security and counseling. It is loyal to its colleagues, reliable and committed to ethical values. It is uncomfortable in competitive environments full of intrigue. When it learns to manage its anxiety, it becomes the dependable backbone of the team.
