The Dog Personality

Dog’s are very noble creatures. They are loyal, dutiful and understanding. Dog’s have high moral standards and are very unselfish and generous towards those they consider their friends. Oftentimes a dog will give you a gift unexpectedly because they just want to share what they themselves have found.

Sometimes the Dog can be shy or timid in unfamiliar surroundings and can quite easily become pessimistic or suspicious of those around them. In this instance, they almost become the opposite of who they really are, from when they at home and relaxed. However when they are comfortable and in familiar territory again, they can be very trustworthy, honest and even courageous beings.

The Dog’s are also known for their quick tongues and active minds which they use to fight for their cause, whatever that may be. They tend to see in Black and White and will speak excitably of their viewpoint without being too pushy or confronting. They are idealists but are also cynics. This combination ends up causing the Dog to doubt themselves. If they are led or shown which direction would be best to take, they can not only reach for the moon, they can step on it too!
