DogPeople born in Dog years spend much of their time in an advanced state of suspicious outrage. �Dogs think the evil world is plotting against them, that life is a dreadful place to live in and that it's up to them to put things to rights. �Dogs are crusaders. �Give a Dog a cause to campaign for and she'll unearth every bone she's buried for the last ten years in order to see that justice is done. �Thorough, diligent, faithful, honest, loyal and devoted -- all of the above apply to Dog subjects.

DogEven at her grumpiest, the Dog is a lovable, if somewhat intractable, beast. �She cannot be bothered with trifles because she is intensely involved in constructing an airtight case for her lawsuit against the toy manufacturer who made the space capsule she bought her son for Christmas. �The workmanship is shoddy. �The 100 percent virgin polyester plastic is toxic and should not be eaten by a two-year-old. �Ms. Dog has the toy laboratory-tested. �This time the toy company is in big trouble.

DogPoor Doggie, you drag yourself away from your desk, exhausted after writing twenty angry letters to school boards around the country warning them of the dangers of frozen pizza in their cafeterias, and you need to be loved. �You seek comfort and understanding. �You sit down at the knee of your favorite companion and lay your furry head in a welcoming lap. �Your big liquid eyes stare beseechingly upward. �You sigh, "Why doesn't General Motors put inflatable safety seats in ALL their new cars?"

DogBecause of this "Ralph Nader" side to their character, Dogs are often found in jobs where helping others makes up a large part of their responsibility. �They are nurses or doctors or lawyers or architects -- or poets. �But they are usually not politicians or gangsters. �Dogs don't take to crime. �They are not after easy gain. �They just want a quiet life with a nice family where they will be left undisturbed by the roiling world of scandal and scum.

DogTrouble is, Dogs are so busy rescuing others and caring about causes, they forget to take care of Number One. �They don't look for their own interests and are surprised and hurt when they realize they've been double-crossed or taken to the cleaners by ruthless characters. �Dogs even wear a look of hurt on their faces, a perplexed near frown that says, "Don't hit me again. �I'm sorry. �I'll be quiet. �I won't chew up slippers anymore." �It's quite sad.

DogBut this attitude, this air of the beaten Dog, is very endearing. �People are attracted to Dogs. �Dogs are nice, friendly, loving souls. �Only thing is they fall victim to frequent attacks of barking. �The most placid peace-loving person may suddenly snap! �Out of nowhere the Dog blurts, "Your friend Bill is a creep!"

DogIt's baffling. �Where did this disobliging remark come from? �You thought Doggie loved Bill. �How can it be? �"I'm sorry," says Doggie apologetically. �"I didn't mean that Bill is really a creep creep. �You know, I just mean that sometimes Bill's a little weird."

DogDogs are basically too nice to be really nasty. �But they are critical and very cutting. �They reason too much, take things to pieces instead of looking at them globally and eschew fancy because they fear it. �Dogs are afraid of their own shadows. �They lack confidence and don't mind blaming their faults on others.

DogSorry, Doggie, mistakes as well as good deeds are always your own fault and only your fault. �You can't put the blame on the rest of the world for your own failings. �Cheer up. �You have tons of charm and masses of ability. �You are noble, upstanding, moral and generous. �You make a terrific mate for those who have a mission or want to spend all their time creating. �In fact, I was wondering... what are you doing for dinner tonight?

DogFAMOUS DOGS: �David Bowie, Naomi Campbell, Judy Garland, Socrates, George Gershwin, Benjamin Franklin, Herbert Hoover and David Niven.
