Dog is the eleventh sign of the Chinese zodiac. According to tradition, those born under the sign are often said to possess character traits such as honesty, loyalty, trustworthiness as well as a deep sense of duty. Famous people born in the Year of the Dog include Winston Churchill, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Confucius and Benjamin Franklin. This stamp issue is part of Singapore Post's zodiac stamp series that began in 2008 with the Rat. The stamps feature graphical illustrations of the faithful, well-disciplined, reliable determined Dog in all three stamps.
