Dog
loyal, honest, protective
Dog is the zodiac's sign of unshakeable loyalty. Folklore treats the Dog as humanity's most trusted companion for good reason: this is the sign least likely to abandon a person or a cause once it has decided they deserve its trust, and most likely to notice when something is unfair.
People born under the Dog tend to be honest to a fault, protective of the people they love, and quietly driven by a sense of right and wrong that they will not easily compromise on. They make the friend who shows up without being asked and the colleague who says the uncomfortable true thing everyone else is avoiding.
That same moral clarity can tip into worry, cynicism, or a hard time trusting new people until they have proven themselves. The Dog's growth edge is learning that not every relationship needs to be tested before it can be trusted.
