The Origin of China Zodiac Dog

Dog is one of the twelve zodiac signs in China traditional culture. According to legend, in ancient times, twelve kinds of animals took part in the election contest of the Chinese Zodiac, which was presided over by the Jade Emperor, to decide to represent every year in China's life. The dog was chosen as one of the zodiac animals according to its wisdom and loyalty. Dogs represent friendliness, loyalty and protection, and are regarded as reliable partners of human beings. In the traditional culture of China, dogs are often used to symbolize intelligence, loyalty and kindness.
