In China, there is a 12-year cycle for every year. There is an animal for every year. Here are the animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Everyone has an animal sign. 2006 is the year of Dog.
Do you know? Michael Jackson (迈克尔-杰克逊) and Madonna (麦当娜) were both born in the year of Dog. Dogs are very honest and friendly. They protect people they love. So some say people born in the year of Dog are very hard-working, brave, responsible (负责任的), friendly, and honest. They love justice (正义), and people respect them. In love relationships (亲戚), they do not change easily. They are willing to suffer. They do not want to make other people suffer. They do not like to do something bad.
