The Wood Dog personality
Wood brings out the Dog’s warmth and its wish to help. Dogs are known for loyalty and a strong sense of right and wrong, and Wood adds kindness, flexibility and an idealistic streak. Wood Dogs tend to be generous, easygoing and well liked, with a wide circle of friends who trust them. They are more relaxed than the intense Fire Dog and more cooperative than the principled, unbending Metal Dog. Fairness still matters a great deal to them, but they prefer to settle disputes through understanding instead of confrontation. Their idealism shows in the causes they support and the people they stand up for. The risk is that they give too much: Wood Dogs may put others’ needs first for so long that their own go unspoken.

Wood Dog in love
Wood Dogs are affectionate, loyal partners who make a relationship feel safe. They are supportive and patient and enjoy sharing everyday life with someone they trust. Because they dislike conflict, they may stay quiet about problems until those problems build up. A partner who invites honest conversation and returns their generosity helps a Wood Dog relationship last.
Wood Dog at work
Social work, teaching, healthcare, human resources and community organizations suit the Wood Dog. They are cooperative colleagues who build trust quickly and care about fair treatment, and they are often the person others confide in at work. Roles that let them help people directly are the most satisfying, while cutthroat environments wear them down.
