The Year of the Dog is the twelfth in the twenty year cycle of Titan, shared across all civilised cultures and many semi-civilised ones. It is said that a person born during the Year of the Dog is the most loyal of all, willing to lay down their lives for honour and friendship. Whilst they are not said to be the smartest of people, they are by far the greatest of friends. Astrologers claim that good matches for a Dog Person can be found among those born in the Years of the Lion and the Wolf, whilst the worst are to be found among those born in the Years of the Dragon and Crocodile.
