Dog 

The Dog finished 11^th in the race. The rooster would stop occasionally to peck for grains and with that, the dog would bark at him. Dog, being an excellent swimmer probably would have won in 2^nd or 3^rd, but he stopped to bathe. He paddled and paddled, but felt only soothing water, not hurrying to win. He stopped for a 2 minute bath. He was proud to be 11^th, even if his enemy, Rat finished first.

If you were born in the year of the Dog (see at the Zodiac Animal Chart)

The Dog will never let you down. Under this sign you are honest to those you love. Constant worry, a quick tongue, and a tendency to find fault terrorize you. You might make an excellent businessman, activist, teacher, or secret agent.
