Dr.Nikki's Zodiac:
Chinese Animals
The Dog
Dogs are the ultimate symbol of loyalty.  
The family pet dog gives the members of
the family unconditional love even when they
leave him alone all day.  The dog, alert,
and able to take care of themselves.  In their intentness to do good
Dog people may intrude beyond where they are welcome.  Gentle
reminders of appropriate boundaries with Dog people tend to lead
to stronger bonds in relationships.  Dogs are generous sometimes
at the door with tail wagging is a warm and
welcoming sight to come home to after a bad day!  
The year of the Dog is the Eleventh in the Chinese
Cycle and is emblematic of the spirit of giving.  The
dog is the ultimate giver as a companion and pet.  

People born in the year of the dog are resourceful

to a fault, but their loving and caring nature shines through in all their acts.  
Dog people are people people!  They care about their fellowman and are not
easily swayed with things that don’t matter like power and prestige.  Their
unselfishness is evident in their devotion to their fellow man, whether in a one-on-
one or with mankind as a whole, Dogs always care.

Dogs are the ultimate nurturers and do well in professions that help others.  
Dogs are tenacious and make good attorneys and judges, police officers as
well.  In the medical field everything from counselors to surgeons are
appropriate for Dogs to pursue as a career.  Spiritual professionals such as
spiritual counselors, priests, nuns, and clerics are well suited for Dog
personalities.  Cheerful and willing, the Dog personality is helpful and diligent.  
Ready, willing and capable, Dogs have no problems helping others with tasks or
pulling together as a team.  Caring and patient Dog personalities are also great
teachers and educators. The Dog personality should beware the innate desire
to trust and take people at their word.  Make sure the one giving their word is
going to stand behind it.  Expecting loyalty and dedication because it is an
innate part of your nature you may trust too easily when judicious restraint is
called for.

If you want to cheer the Dog person in your life, try a single yellow rose.  Pale
yellow is a color strong associated with those born in the year of the Dog.  If
you want to make a special gift to the dog in your life, make it a bouquet of red
roses!  Dogs enjoy craft work and making their home comfortable.   When
confronted with injustice Dogs tend to ruffle their fur and give a warning growl
to the offender.  Losing their temper is difficult for Dog people who are normally
contrite once the storm is over.  Dogs prefer the simpler things in life.  A family
weekend on the beach would mean much to a Dog person.  If you want to buy
your Dog friend a gem or stone to help them align with their energy, try
moonstone, carnelian or jasper.
