Year Of The Dog - 2018, 2030, 2042
The meaning behind the Dog sign
In Vietnam, there are 12 zodiac signs in total, and the Dog is the 11th. The animal is a symbol of caring, honesty, loyalty, and the creature that can bring luck, joy, and auspiciousness.
The image of dogs in Vietnam culture has always been friendly and helpful. Since the start of life, they have helped their masters in protecting the house. Some old temples and homes in Vietnam have two stone dogs standing guard in front of the door with the meaning of blessing and exorcism. As time went by, the dogs have become a holy creature in many places across Vietnam. But even then, unlike other mythical mascots such as dragons and phoenixes, the Dog still keeps an immediate image, with lots of emotions, from happy, angry, loving to pity.
