Dog

Is the Dog man's best friend? Well, maybe. Loyal, faithful and honest, the Dog has a firm code of ethics to live by and can be counted on in times of need. Ever trustworthy, this pup is also wonderfully discreet, listening closely while guarding a friends' problems without a hint of gossip. Anything less would be unimaginable to Dogs, possessed as they are of a keen sense of right and wrong and duty-bound to the core. This is the Dog's mantra: live right, look out for the underdog and fight injustice wherever possible. Bear in mind, though, that if you get a Dog started on what's important to them, they can go on forever. Dogs aren't much for social chit-chat, preferring to get to the heart of the issues that matter. They can also be temperamental and moody, which makes it hard to know if the Dog that shows up will lick your leg or bite it off. Dogs can even be downright nasty if they feel their livelihood is at risk, worrywarts that they are. These sensitive pups need to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Absent that trust, they can be judgmental and coarse. Further, Dogs have little room for flighty or flaky behavior, treating these "lost" souls in a critical, almost harsh manner. The flip side of the Dog's discerning nature is that they are excellent business people who can turn their pickiness into an asset for the masses. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. These Feckless Fidos can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! Dogs need to work on these irrational fears and are also well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can only wind up alienating the ones they love. The most compatible match for a dog is the tiger or horse.
