  
The Dog is the personification of loyalty and honesty. It is intelligent, has a strong sense of justice, and is a conscientious worker. It is an obliging friend and cannot help itself from lending a helping hand. However, it is careful and analytic, takes a long time to make decisions, and avoids being in the forefront.
The Dog is trustworthy, devoted, and altruistic. It cannot tolerate hypocrisy or ill will, but its anger is brief, inspired by its sense of morality. The Dog is not playful because life is too serious. The Dog moralizes and analyzes situations so much that it becomes pessimistic.
The Dog is a warrior and its intuitive sense is keen to all dangers. If cheated, the Dog can display bitter cynicism. It may be a little alarmist. To the Dog, life is a heavy burden, and if it persists in taking everything seriously, it will have few opportunities for happiness. The Dog's affections are lasting if it is able to master its pessimism.
