Dog is a symbol of future prosperity. A dog is loyal to its master. Those born in the Year if Dog are blessed with some of the most admirable qualities of human nature. You are likely to champion good causes since you cannot tolerate injustice done to the needy. Like the dog, you are an allegiant and dependable worker with an intense sense of duty. Others can count on you to keep a secret, and for this you are held in very high esteem by others. Like a dog needlessly and endlessly running after a toy, people born under this sign can be a bit obstinate sometimes. On the negative side, you hate small talk at social gatherings, you find such acts phony and shallow, so you fail miserably at parties and at other social affairs. This alone might lead others to believe, although incorrectly, that you are aloof and arrogant. This in turn leads you to be fault-finding and sarcastic – this is a vicious cycle best ignored & avoided.
