The Earth Dog personality
Earth Dog is the steady guardian: loyal, practical, and hard to push off course.
Among Dog years, the Earth Dog stands out for its extra weight, patience, and realism. Dog already values loyalty, fairness, and protection, but the Earth stem adds a calmer, more measured style than Wood, Fire, Metal, or Water Dog years. This is not the quickest Dog to react, yet often one of the most dependable once committed.
