Personality Traits:
People born under the year of the Dog tend to be very well liked as it is one of the most popular of all of the animals.  Dog people are: truthful, clever, with a strong sense of fairness and devotion.  They never shirk their duties, they always do their fair share of things and will always "listen to reason".  They would never ignore a distress call, often putting the well-being of others before their own and they never abandon people.  Other traits include: open-mindedness, never envious, non money-minded and very adept at seeing straight through others.  However should you try to snoop into their affairs they can become secretive and also give a cold shoulder to those who they don't really like. They are also: intrepid, practical and "have great insight into human nature".  They can be belligerent, gloomy, be anxious for no apparent reason and they absolutely detest pretence.  Inevitabilities are never put on hold, neither is giving a clear-cut answer to something.  Above all they are never sly, underhand or crafty.

The year of the Dog: is a year for reflection and to assess ones values.  There will be disturbances, revolts, but as the Dog is always on the lookout, honesty will always rule the day.  This year will see great benevolent and idealistic deeds and various unusual changes; a time when broadmindedness and fairness will be supported.  Although this year is one of great cynicism a sense of balance and tranquility will be upheld.
