SOME FACTS ABOUT DOG PEOPLE
The Dog occupies the 11th position in the Chinese zodiac after the Rooster and before the Pig. In Chinese astrology, each year is related to a Chinese zodiac animal according to a 12-year cycle.
A Dog’s most defining characteristic is its loyalty. They will never abandon their friends, family, or work. Honest and just, they are popular in social circles. Everyone needs a Dog friend for advice and help. They are also good at helping others find and fix their bad habits.
Recent Chinese New Years of the Dog include 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, and 2030… A Dog year occurs every 12 years. 2030 is a Metal Dog Year.
