History
Each year is represented by one of twelve animals that appear in the Chinese Zodiac. This year is being represented by the dog and those born under this animal influence (with the recent years being: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018) are said to be faithful to those they love, courageous, warm-hearted and friendly. The story of how the Chinese Zodiac signs came to differ from region to region. However, the most common story talks of 12 brave animals competing in a race organized by the Chinese Emperor. The animals were given a year in the Chinese Zodiac depending on how quickly they finished the race. The dog came eleventh, placing him in the eleventh position of the Chinese Zodiac.
