Loyal and sweet, the Dog is an elegant soul who keeps it real, no matter how fussy and well-bred he/she looks. Like an eager pup, this sign responds to praise and attention, and knows how to court it. Nobody pulls off simple glamour like Dogs. Put one in an elegant dress or suit and the cameras start clicking. There are plenty of show dogs among this sign!

The Dog’s bark can be intimidating, like Donald Trump’s signature line “You’re fired!” on The Apprentice. Only a threatened Dog can be vicious, though. Although some are divas, most Dogs are simple creatures of habit. Some might find them boring, even infuriating, because they’re so faithful to their routines. This is the kind of kid (or parent) who does well with routines and structure.

If you’re the parent of a Dog, lucky you: this child will usually remain loyal to his/her roots forever. Dogs are proud of their pedigrees and aim to please. However, this can be a double-edge sword, because your Dog might be too eager to make others happy, organizing his/her life around earning praise rather than forming a strong identity. Encourage your Dog to build a strong sense of individuality.

You might need to let your little one off the leash to roam and get in touch with their animal instincts. Of course, if your Dog is of a more scrappy breed, you may occasionally need to tighten that leash, lest he/she run off with a wild street pack.

Dogs hate drama, but they love mischief. Sometimes, there’s a thin line between the two for them. Still, no matter how crazy a Dog can make her friends and family, few can resist this sign’s charms. It takes a mere scolding for Dogs to become loveable creatures once again. One beautiful, repentant smile and every mess is forgiven.
