Dog 狗

The Dog is loyalty: principles, protection and a strong sense of who deserves the benefit of the doubt.

The Dog is the cycle's guardian: loyal, principled and protective. It reads as integrity, reliability and a moral seriousness that shows up in how a person chooses friends.

The shadow is worry and judgement: the Dog can defend a line that has moved. The useful reading is loyalty — the chart shows whether it becomes trust or rigidity.
