Dogs are intelligent, faithful, and loyal.
As one of the most likable signs of the Chinese zodiac, others admire the dog for its determination to uphold a sense of justice and its strong loyalty to friends and family. They often champion causes they believe in and won’t go down without a fight.
On the negative side, dogs can be prone to worrying excessively and have a reputation for pessimism sometimes. They can appear quite cynical and become opinionated to the extreme.
Career-wise, dogs make excellent police officers, military personnel, civil servants, lawyers, politicians, and activists.
