The Dog's loyalty will be a strength today, as they're likely to support their colleagues and superiors wholeheartedly. Their dedication could lead to strong professional relationships, but they might also find themselves taking on too much. According to Chinese tradition, the Dog's unwavering commitment is a hallmark of their character, but they'll need to set boundaries to avoid burnout.
