Dog people are the most dutiful of the lot. They are extremely loyal to whom they serve and dislike any dishonesty on the part of co-workers towards their masters.

On negative side, they are not good at socializing and also tend to get digressed by small things.

They get on very well with Horse and Tiger. They are not very compatible with Goat and Monkey people.

General Characteristics -

Is the Dog man's best friend? Well, maybe. Loyal, faithful and honest, the Dog has a firm code of ethics to live by and can be counted on in times of need. Ever trustworthy, this pup is also wonderfully discreet, listening closely while guarding a friend's problems without a ever thinking of being a gossip. Anything less would be unimaginable to Dogs, possessed as they are of a keen sense of right and wrong and duty-bound to the core. This is the Dog's mantra: Live right, look out for the underdog and fight injustice wherever possible. Bear in mind, though, that if you get a Dog started on what's important to them, they can go on forever. Dogs aren't much for social chit-chat, preferring to get to the heart of the matter. They can also be temperamental and moody, which makes it hard to know if the Dog that shows up will lick your leg or bite it off. Dogs can even be downright nasty if they feel their livelihood is at risk, worrywarts that they are. These sensitive pups need to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Absent that trust, they can be judgmental and coarse.

Further, Dogs have little room for flighty or flaky behavior, treating these "lost" souls in a critical, almost harsh manner. The flip side of the Dog's discerning nature is that they are excellent business people who can turn their pickiness into an asset for the masses. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. These Feckless Fidos can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! Dogs need to work on these irrational fears and are also well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can only wind up alienating the ones they love. The most compatible match for a dog is the tiger or horse.

Year 2024 Prediction

The overall fortune is not so good in 2024 for people born in the year of the Dog. It might be hard to enjoy a smooth life but run into some difficulties, regardless of career development, wealth maintenance, or interpersonal relationship. In terms of their career, they may have good fortune to do well at work in the first a few months, but there would be notable ups and downs later. There is also a possibility to fall in some troubles or be pushed aside/out in their workplace. Dog fortune in 2024 reveals that they wouldn’t be blessed with much luck in other aspects, either. Unpopular industries and risky investments are not advised for their financial management, and their marriage, family or the life as a couple might be full of trivial incompatibilities in the year. As frequent quarrels are not conducive to maintain the relationship, they should control their temper when being together with the lover and family members. Their health fortune is also not satisfying, so they should have a preparation to prevent from the possible disorders.
