Chinese zodiac: Pig + Dog

On the surface, you are both honest and loyal souls, but your internal engines run on different fuels. The Pig seeks pleasure and assumes the best of people, while the Dog is eternally vigilant, scanning the horizon for threats and injustice. The attraction is based on mutual safety; you don't play mind games. But soon, the Pig’s desire to indulge breaks against the Dog’s wall of anxiety and moral rigidity. The Pig wants to throw a lavish dinner party; the Dog is worried about the cost and who might be secretly plotting against them. The Pig feels dragged down by the Dog’s pessimism, while the Dog views the Pig’s carefree attitude as irresponsible denial. Intimacy is warm and safe, a refuge from the world, though it can lack the spark of danger that sometimes fuels passion. In a partnership, you are trustworthy to a fault, but you might mutually lack the killer instinct needed to aggressively grow a business. The key to survival is validating the Dog’s fears without letting them ruin the Pig’s evening. The Dog needs reassurance, not logic, and the Pig needs permission to be happy.
