Life is ruff when you’re four-legged and furry with a completely clueless human. Fortunately, our daily Dogscope can brighten those boneless days with a little encouragement and a helping paw.
Aries
Food just out of reach brings on the Pavlov effect. Don't work yourself into a lather if you're stuck in the yard while others eat. Whether the gate is left open or you dig under the fence, you're destined to find the best approach.
Taurus
You love a belly rub as much as the next dog, but you're sensitive. You think a human may be trying to get a rise out of you, but they may not know any better. Be forgiving if you're rubbed the wrong way.
Gemini
You're as meticulous as a hard-boiled detective when it comes to sniffing out the details. It may not be clear to your human why you zigzag from one spot to the next, but you know there's a method to your madness.
Cancer
It feels like the right day for breaking out. Whether you're stuck in the yard, your crate or the doghouse, try to be flexible instead. You'll get extra treats if you wait to be sprung by your owner.
Leo
You have a strong sense of what you want and the enthusiasm to get it, but drooling and whining won't get you table scraps. You're better off if you listen and then act. Do 'sit' and 'stay' ring a bell?
Virgo
You've waited patiently as your owner has been putting off your walks to deal with human matters, and it hasn't been easy. Your hard work is about to pay off. Let your owner know it's time to get down to business.
Libra
Who says dogs and cats can't live together? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours -- whatever works for you. Your relationship is like wearing a pair of shoes: You're the only one who knows if you're comfortable in it.
Scorpio
Gifts are on the horizon, but you may be called on to relinquish a treasure. Has your lamby doll become a rag doll? Is your rope toy a knot of threads? Don't lose too much sleep over it. As with everything in life, they'll be out of sight, out of mind.
Sagittarius
You know you love to roam, but you'll have a good day if you work with your owner on this tired old issue. Why not let your wanderlust be fulfilled by chasing a far-flung ball? Pretend you're racing to the ends of the Earth to catch it.
Capricorn
Your owner may finally be considering trading up. Whether it's a studded collar or a fancy new leash, you finally get the status symbol you deserve. You may be surprised by the sentimental feelings you have for your old tack.
Aquarius
Your movements may be restricted, and you're not sure why. If you're stuck in the yard or put in your crate, you're probably being disciplined. Try to control yourself. Why bark and flail all day long?
Pisces
You need extra exercise. Lucky dog, you have friends in high places, pulling strings or holding leashes. Do some lobbying for a trip to the park or the dog run. Don't be afraid to use the hard stare.
