Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer dogs are the sign of the crab, but this doesn’t mean you are crabby. In fact, it takes these dogs a lot to make them crabby at all. They’re loyal and dedicated to their humans. They feel a need for security and attachment. They don’t do well when they’re surrendered to an animal rescue facility, or when their humans go away. It’s better to find a way to bring you with them, rather than having a sitter check on you, or to be left at a pet boarding facility.

When you’re a Cancer dog, you need to be assured that you’re a good boy or girl, and that you are smart and loved. Your zodiac sign is ruled by the moon, which is closer to the Earth than any other planetary body. The moon makes you intuitive and sensitive to your human’s needs. You’ll surprise your human at times when you run up to them to cuddle, or when you can sense that they aren’t feeling well. This is what makes you the perfect canine healer.

Your moon sign makes you the perfect guide dog for disabled humans. You also make good companions to the elderly, as you can remind them that they may have forgotten to take their medication.

Since your sign is the Crab, this means that you have a strong focus on food and appetite. Most of this will include eating, so you’ll always look forward to your next meal. But appetite may also include your appetite for love and attention too.

The Cancer dog is also the one that all the other household pets will go to for advice. You’re like a natural Dad or Mom to them. You’ll assist them as best you can. You’re also naturally forgiving, and understanding, particularly if a family member is having a difficult day and snaps at you.

You’ll be eager to find out what 2023 has ahead of you. You don’t mind if there are some challenges, as this will keep your doggy mind occupied. You always need something to do, and are the natural helper who is ready to assist any animal or human who is struggling. It’s always important that you appear to be the helper too, rather than the know-it-all, so that people will naturally look to you when they need assistance.
