The Dog is the most likeable sign of the Chinese zodiac. Like his animal namesake, he is loyal with a capital "L". He is the one who people are most likely to turn to when they need help. The dog person will come through every time. That is because he/she is sensitive to others and empathizes with them, particularly if someone has suffered an injustice; he/she reacts quickly with the same feeling as though he/she had been personally offended. Friends value these qualities, and know that they can rely upon their Dog friend to keep a promise or remain cool in a crisis.

Dog types are honest, intelligent and straightforward. They will take on any responsibility that is given to them and you can be sure that they will do their job conscientiously and well.

Dog people are often born old and get younger as they age. They take everything very seriously. You may hear the Dog complain a lot about street lamps, about traffic, or about weather, but the older he/she gets, the less seriously they take their own criticisms.

Such people have a great sense of integrity and fair play. They are idealistic, and dreamers to the core. They never really accept the fact that injustice and oppression can exist in the world. As a result, people born in this year tend to be easily upset and shocked more often than the other more realistic zodiac sign types.

There is certainly a pessimistic side to their character and their spirit is drained when they hear of situations beyond their control, such as natural or human disasters. It is natural for the dog person to long for everything to be done in the best possible way and he/she is often anxious about the potential problems that may occur with him/her or those around them.

It is very important for the Dog person to avoid worrying about problems that have not even materialized yet. There is no doubt that these people have a strong sense of duty and responsibility, but they should learn to relax and realize that it is impossible to control everything.
