Let’s start off with Aries, a bold fire sign. I think a Jack Russell Terrier makes perfect sense. A Jack Russell? Why not a Rottweiler, you ask? Well, if you’ve ever met a Jack Russell, you’d know exactly why. Small in size but massive in spirit, plus, they both believe they’re the boss and won’t take no for an answer, no matter how often they’ve failed to conquer the kitchen bin.

For the calm and patient Taurus, we have the kind and gentle Saint Bernard. Like Tauruses, these are big and slow creatures that have the tenacity of a bulldozer when they’ve set their sights on something. Usually it’s food. What is it with star signs and food, by the way? Maybe we’re just hungry for a good horoscope!

Moving onto Gemini, it wasn’t easy to pick just one breed, because our lovely Geminis are all about duality. So, why not go big and small at the same time, like a Chihuahua and a Great Dane. I know, sounds mad. Geminis, it’s like walking along, minding your own business and unexpectedly falling into a rabbit hole, only to discover a parallel universe. That’s Geminis for you!

Next up is Cancer, who need loyalty, protection and sensitivity. A boxer it is then. No, not the type you wear, though can you imagine? A boxer in boxers? Brilliant! They’re protective, but also sensitive. Who knew a creature that looks like it smelled something awful all the time could be so heartwarming!

Now our Leo friends, I’ve heard you purring there! I should just say a lion and be done with it, right? But let’s stay true to Canis familiaries – the scintillating Shiba Inu, full of self-confidence, just like a Leo. Plus, they both think they are the king of the jungle, when in reality they’re more Shiba InYOU!

For the perfectionist Virgo, it’s got to be the Border Collie, the Einsteins of the dog world. Virgos and Border Collies both seem to enjoy folding laundry at impossible speeds, whatever is the doggy equivalent of that.

Now, Libras! What’s all this I hear about you guys loving balance, but struggling to make a decision? Easy, let’s go for a dog that can’t make its mind up either – the Australian Shepherd! This dog is both a relaxed family pet and a high-energy herding dog. Talk about having a split personality!

Next up, Scorpio. Known for their intensity, mystery and a little bit of moodiness thrown in, we got the Dalmatian. Brilliant, somewhat aloof, and unpredictable. And just like Scorpios, they’ve also been wrongly vilified by a Disney villain!

For our Sagittarius mates, it’s the adventurous Labrador Retriever. Labs love to explore, get muddy, swim in rivers, and cover your brand-new white carpet in muddy paw prints. Much like Sagittarians who are often known for getting into mischief, but still maintaining charm!

And for Capricorn? I can hear your organized minds working already. It’s the diligent German Shepherd for you, known for their hard work and no-nonsense attitude, although they’d probably run the place better than most of us!

Then we have innovative and fiercely individual Aquarius. The distinct Dachshund is your match! They’re full of surprises just like Aquarians, except their surprises are usually found under the sofa. Surprising indeed!

Finally, for our daydreaming Pisces, the whimsical yet reliable Golden Retriever. Known for their everlasting loyalty and love for water, much like our lovely Pisces. They’re also masters of the ‘puppy-dog eyes’ maybe Pisces could learn a thing or two about that?

Just remember, whether you’re looking to the stars for answers, or searching for your furry best friend, a little bit of laughter and lot of love is all you need. So, say it with me, dogs and star signs – total eclipse of the bark!

Now, who’s got the Scooby snacks?
