The dog is the eleventh of all zodiac animals. According to a myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be determined by the order in which they arrived at his feast. Monkey, Rooster and Dog were in another land helping a god to defeat evil spirits. Then they left for the party together. Since they arrived at the same time, the Jade Emperor followed the order in which they met the god in the other land. So Dog finished eleventh.
In China, it is still popular to call dogs Wàng Cái. It means "prosperous wealth" and comes from the barking sounds of dogs (wàng wàng).

They are also intuitive, good judge of characters and are able to figure out human nature almost instantly. Diplomatic they may be but they are equally fast with their razor sharp
barbs when slighted. Like the animal itself, they are homebodies who care deeply for their families above else. On the negative side, dogs can be overly judgmental and self-righteous. Nothing is good enough for the.
Their eternal quest for the right way at times ends in all consuming depression or disappointment. Dogs find it hard to compromise and may refuse to get off their high horses.

The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the Chinese calendar, a lunisolar calendar. The same calendar is used in countries that have adopted the Confucian and Buddhism tradition and
in many cultures influenced by the Chinese. Chinese New Year starts on the first day of the new year containing a new moon (some sources even include New Year's Eve) and ends on the Lantern Festival fourteen days later. This occurs around
the time of the full moon as each lunation is about 29.53 days in duration. In the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year, on a date between January 21 and February 21.
