Cancer: Home-Lover (June 21 - July 21)1. The Cancer Dog is something of an “up and down” type of creature with a strong determination to “stay put.”
2. Indeed this dog is probably the most patient and tenacious of the entire Zodiac. Superficially a timid and retiring type of dog, content to be left unnoticed, this dog will, in fact, be quite the opposite.
3. Moodier and more sensitive than most, he or she is prone to deep extremes of emotion. Joy, despair, terror, boldness (and more) will shift beneath this dog’s rather crusty exterior.
4. It is important that the Cancer Dog feel he or she is needed. Consequently, this dog requires constant patting and reassurance and any owner is likely to be saying, “Good boy” or “Good girl” until the throat is sore.
5. Physcially, the Cancer Dog is bony…any bulk will invariably be around the shoulder area. The legs will be long in comparison to the body and this dog’s movement will have a vague, sideways motion.
6. This dog falls under the jurisdiction of an excellent sign for breeding purposes…the dam will accept her responsibilities and not expect an owner to take over after a couple of days. However, there will certainly be trouble when it is time to remove the puppies, since this dog mother will put up a fight to keep them with her at least one more night…and then another…and yet another.
7. The Cancer Dog can settle almost anywhere. Taken to a new home, he or she will immediately view it as the place in which life will be lived out.
8. This dog established his or her corner and then set about filling it with treasures which will be enjoyed and protected.
If those treasures happen to belong to another then that is unfortunate, for the Cancer Dog will literally hang on to anything that he or she feels is a personal belonging. In the eyes of this dog, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

About once a month, the pull of the Moon will fill the Cancer Dog with a feeling of restlessness, urging him or her to spend the night in the garden, where he or she will howl until daybreak. However, that having been said, the Cancer Dog basically makes for a delightful and lovely pet, being loyal and faithful no matter how he or she might be treated by an owner. No separation, regardless of length, will make this dog forget the person with whom he or she has bonded. Like all born teachers, the Cancer Dog knows it is first necessary to learn and basic training will be a pleasure to this dog. The Cancer Dog usually possesses the capability to go further into specialized or obedience training, but once this dog is old enough to make his or her own decisions, then stock will be taken of what has been taught and there will be a prompt rejection of anything that does not appeal.
