The Dog is the eleventh animal in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor decided to assign twelve animals to the Zodiac. The announcement went out to the entire land. The order of the animals would be determined by which one arrived at his palace first. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, and Rooster were the first ten to arrive, and Dog followed soon after.
The Dog is one of the most popular Chinese Zodiac signs because of its friendliness, loyalty, and playfulness. People have relied on dogs for generations as companions, guardians, and co-workers (in hunting and tracking). Dogs want to belong, be helpful, and have fun.
