“Loyal, Smart, Sensitive and Brave” are the common words to describe the Year of Dog—the Chinese New Year 2018 —which begins on Friday, February 16, 2018. That’s the time for Rooster to get off work and the Dog to take the shift, coinciding with spring on earth.
A 12-year cycle of animals has been used in the Chinese zodiac for millennia. The dog is the 11th animal among the 12 Chinese zodiac signs: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.
