The Chinese year 4704 is the year of the dog, and runs from 29th January 2006 to 17th February 2007.
The Chinese Lunar Calendar runs in a series of 12 year and 60 year cycles. Each of the twelve years is represented by an animal symbol.
Year of the Dog Attributes
People born in a year of the dog are believed to possess the following character traits and attributes:
They are the most likeable of all the Chinese zodiac types. Like the real animal, dogs are loyal. They are the ones people are most likely to turn to when they need help.
The dog person will come through every time. This is because they are sensitive to others and empathize with them, particularly if someone has suffered an injustice. They react instantly with the same feeling as though they had been personally offended. Friends know that they can rely upon their Dog friends to keep a promise or remain cool in a crisis.
Dog types are honest, intelligent and straightforward. They will take on any responsibility that is given to them and you can be sure that they will do their job well.
People born in this year tend to be easily upset and shocked more often than the other more signs.
The dog is loyal, unselfish, and idealistic. They can sometimes be worriers and overly critical. Dogs go best with tigers and horses. Their secret friends are other dogs, tigers, horses and rabbits. Dogs get along worst with Dragons, whom they perceive as arrogant and flashy with no substance.
