THE TRUSTING DOG

The Dog's renowned loyalty and incredible sense of smell make him a great friend with good intuition. You are warm, humane and logical, and you possess a strong sense of honor. The Chinese zodiac's symbol of justice, Dogs have a keen sense of right and wrong and tend to root for the underdog. Still, you can also be cynical, pessimistic and distrustful.

IN LOVE...

When the lovebug bites, it is forever. You hotly pursue whomever you want, showering that person with presents and displays of affection. Despite your talent at the game of love, you can get overly anxious about it and stress out your partner.

IN HEALTH...

A balanced individual, you maintain your health by keeping happy and are at your best when bustling with activity. You can dance, swim, play tennis and hold your own in most other outdoor activities. Emotionally tough, you can handle great amounts of stress. To tell if a Dog is sick, you only need to test her mood; if she's sad or depressed, it probably means she's ill. Still, you can usually weather any sort of illness.

AT WORK...

Honest and conscientious, you work consistently and with guts. Your pessimistic nature prepares you for the worst-case scenario, and you are never caught off guard. Altruistic and devoted, you aim to serve your community, not yourself. You may find success in teaching, medicine, justice or social work.

AT HOME...

You are constantly cleaning or constructing something new, all in the name of home improvement. You adore a deep-cleaned home, and changing sheets, washing clothes, dusting blinds and wiping down mirrors are only a few of your weekly chores. Your abode must be well-organized and easy to navigate. You demand comfort and take luxury in overstuffed pillows, cushy couches and big recliners. While remaining open-minded, you prefer to stick with traditional decor.
