The Dog in Chinese Zodiac

개띠 · Gae-tti

Earth energy
Known for fierce loyalty

Dog characters protect their people. Principled, warm, and impossible to fool twice.

How the Dog operates

You run on fairness. You give loyalty quickly and withdraw it permanently when it is abused. People rely on your judgement of character, because it is usually right. Your worry, though, is a tax you pay in advance for problems that never arrive.

In love

You are steady, committed, and all-in. You also test people quietly to see whether they'll stay. Tell them what you need instead of running the test.

At work

You thrive where you believe in the mission, and you disengage fast from anything you find cynical. Choose employers on values, not just pay.

The hard truth

Loyalty without boundaries isn't devotion. It's slow resentment.

Watch out for
