I got the dog on that quiz too. Very strange.
The chinese star signs don't just rely on the year, they go by dates as well so if, for example, you're born in January in 1946 (as shown above) your sign is not the dog, but in fact the Rooster.
I love the chinese star signs though, they're a lot of fun. I'm a Snake (18 Feb 1977 to 6 Feb 1978
- born 4th Feb '78 
).
