The Best Dog Breed for Each Zodiac Sign, Picked by the Astrominals
The Astrominals are all animals already, so you’d think they wouldn’t need a dog. You’d be wrong. They all want one. Here’s the perfect pup for every sign.
Aries
Arri and the Jack Russell Terrier
Small dog, enormous attitude. A Jack Russell thinks it’s in charge, never stops running and has never once lost an argument with a bin. Arri took one look and said, “That’s me, but shorter.”
Taurus
Taur and the St Bernard
Big, gentle, calm, and very serious about dinner. A St Bernard carries a little barrel of snacks round its neck, which Taur considers the finest design in the history of dogs.
Gemini
Gem & Eye and a Chihuahua and a Great Dane
They couldn’t agree, so they got one of each, the smallest dog and the tallest dog. Now they walk them together, one looking up, one looking down, both talking the whole time.
Cancer
Canny and the Boxer
Boxers look like they’re worried about something, which Canny relates to deeply. They’re loyal, protective and big softies on the inside. Canny knitted it a jumper on day one.
Leo
Leo and the Shiba Inu
The Shiba Inu is famous for looking extremely pleased with itself at all times. Leo met one and finally understood what everyone else sees when they look at him. They now pose for photos together, chins up, both convinced they’re the star.
Virgo
Virgo and the Border Collie
The cleverest, tidiest dog there is, and famously brilliant at organising sheep. Virgo is a sheep. Virgo has never felt so looked after, or so neatly arranged.
Libra
Libby and the Afghan Hound
Glamorous, graceful and with hair that floats in the breeze. Libby and her Afghan spend their mornings being brushed and their afternoons being admired. Both are equally fabulous. Libby made sure.
Scorpio
Score and the Dalmatian
A Dalmatian has a lot of spots. Score has counted every single one, and written them down, and will know if one goes missing.
Sagittarius
Sagg and the Labrador
A Lab will go anywhere, swim in anything and come home covered in mud with a huge smile. Sagg’s Labrador has been to more countries than most people, and has the stickers on its lead to prove it.
Capricorn
Cap and the German Shepherd
Hard-working, sensible, always on duty. Cap’s German Shepherd has a job title, a timetable and its own little clipboard. It’s the best-run dog in the country.
Aquarius
Aqua and the Dachshund
Long, low and full of surprises. It’s the only dog small enough to ride in Aqua’s pouch, and long enough to stick out of both ends. Aqua has fitted it with a tiny jetpack. It has not yet been tested.
Pisces
Pike and the Golden Retriever
Gentle, loving and obsessed with water. Pike and her Golden Retriever spend hours by the pond, gazing at their reflections. They’ve perfected the puppy-dog eyes. Both of them.
Which Astrominal are you? Whatever your sign, the best dog is the one that loves you back. Which is all of them. Especially the one that just ate your sock.
