The Background to the Zodiac Sign of the Year of Dog

The Year of the Dog is a part of the Chinese zodiac, which is based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by a different animal. Let us examine the story that surrounds it. 

1. Legend has it that in ancient China, the Jade Emperor, who ruled over all the heavens and the earth, held a competition to determine which twelve animals would represent each year in the zodiac cycle. 
2. The animals were required to cross a river, and their order of arrival would determine their place in the cycle.
3. The story goes that the dog arrived eleventh, just before the pig. The reason for this is that the dog had stopped along the way to play in the water, and had also helped to rescue a small child who had fallen into the river. 
4. The pig, meanwhile, had stopped to eat and sleep, and had only just arrived at the finish line.
5. As a result, the dog was granted the eleventh place in the zodiac cycle, and the pig was given the twelfth and final place. 
6. This is why the year of the dog comes before the year of the pig in the zodiac cycle.
