Chinese Symbol for Dog
chuan - dog
Like their namesake, people born in the year of the Dog are defined by their loyalty first and foremost. There is no greater friend and confidant than a Dog, as they go beyond merely sympathetic. Your pain is their pain, and a Dog will go to great lengths to avenge a friend who has suffered an injustice. Despite this zeal, the Dog can be trusted to be cool in times of crisis, or relied upon to keep their word, no matter what happens.
Because they take offenses so seriously, the Dog’s bleeding heart can be his greatest weakness. While fiercely loyal to friends and members of his ‘pack’, the Dog can be vicious towards his ‘enemies’… a group that often expands to include any who don’t agree with him! Because of this, it is important as a Dog to realize that you have to pick your battles, lest your crusades eventually be your undoing.
