About the Dog year
Dog is the values-anchored, loyalty-driven animal of the Chinese zodiac — moral compass before strategy, and reliably the person in the friend group everyone calls when something goes wrong. Famous Dogs include Madonna, Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Mother Teresa, and Winston Churchill. The Dog signature is the person whose career arc is shaped by what they refuse to do — the artist who walked away from the major label, the executive who took the harder ethical path, the activist whose consistency outlasts trends.
How Dog years are determined
Dog years tend to be over-represented in our 'human rights / activist' celebrity tags — the archetype maps cleanly onto values-driven public figures, which is consistent with the traditional interpretation.
