Wood Dog personality

Wood gives the Dog's loyalty a cooperative reach, emphasising fairness across a group rather than protection of a narrow circle. Support is expressed through helping people participate and keeping a shared purpose in view. The challenge is accepting too many obligations in the name of solidarity, leaving little room to distinguish a genuine responsibility from every concern that happens to arise.
