It’s a mistake to look at Chinese zodiac signs through the eyes of a Westerner. (I mean, OK it’s a mistake to believe in astrology BS at all but besides that). The dog is actually a well-respected figure.

Ranking as the eleventh animal in Chinese zodiac, Dog is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart, straightforward, venerable and have a strong sense of responsibility.
