The close relationship between man and Dog can be traced to primitive times. It is more of a love-hate relationship than anything else. Men love the Dog because it is agile, loyal, intelligent, and uncomplaining by nature. However, they hate it for its too eager to please ways, which borders on hypocrisy.

The Dog Year

Personality

People born in the Dog year respect those who respect others. They will not hesitate to stand up for their friends. Besides being agile, quick thinking and observant, they also have a great sense of humour and the gift of the gab. Their weakness lies in their tendency to trust or follow others blindly. Lacking in good judgment often results in their being made use of by others. They are unable to keep secrets and so easily get themselves into a fix. They are temperamental by nature and lose their temper easily.

Career

The Dog’s success and failure depends on whether there is someone to show him or her the way. Talents and abilities alone are not enough. Those born under this sign will are better in life when they reach middle age. More can be accomplished with the help given by others. They are more suited for social work, security guard, government servant, etc.

Romance

They are committed to their lover during courtship and when married, make good spouses and parents. Being loyal, they are ideal life partners. They usually find true love only after many setbacks and heartbreaks. The Dog’s ideal life partner is someone born in the Tiger, Horse, or Rabbit year. Never anyone born under the Dragon sign, if you can help it for marriages of this combination seldom last.
