Just for the hell of it, this comes from a book about the Chinese equivalent of astrology by Theodora Lau. She included a little verse like this for each animal of the Chinese "zodiac." As some of my friends pointed out, the full write-up for the Year of the Dog sounds like it's talking about a superhero: "...no matter how much he or she complains, scolds, or feigns indifference, the Dog person cannot ignore a real call for help.... Raving with disgust at how low our morals have sunk, the Dog will still be found pitting his strength against the forces of evil and answering every S.O.S. that comes his way."
"The martial strains have summoned me
To hear your sorrows,
Still your pain.
I am the protector of Justice;
Equality -- my sole friend.
My vision never blurred by cowardice,
My soul never chained.
Life without honor
Is life in vain.
I am the Dog."

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
