Fire Dog personality
Fire brings conviction and a more outspoken voice to the Dog's sense of fairness. Loyalty in this portrait is visible, with a readiness to name an inconsistency or stand beside someone who is being overlooked. Its difficult edge is urgency: a strongly felt concern can turn into an accusation before the other person's account has been fully heard.
