An in-depth personality reading, likes and dislikes, love and work styles, and well-known people born in this sign.
Dogs tend to be loyal and upright, valuing friendship and principles, and they make trustworthy companions. You notice unfairness quickly and will stand up to protect others. You're watchful, sometimes to the point of worrying about things that may never happen; learning to tell real concerns from imagined ones brings more peace of mind.
The Dog (Xu) keeps watch through the night, symbolising loyalty, protection and guarding the home.

Birth years come from public sources. For anyone born around Chinese New Year the Year Pillar may differ; a BaZi chart gives the precise answer.
Your zodiac sign changes at Li Chun (Start of Spring, around 4 February), not on 1 January. If you were born around Chinese New Year, go by your BaZi Year Pillar. Outlooks come from a light-hearted algorithm. For cultural reflection and self-understanding, not prediction or professional advice.
