Does anyon eknow why it is the "year of the fire dog" instead of just the "year of the dog"?
Where did "fire dog" come from and what does it mean?

The "Fire" attribute has to do with the 5 Elements of Creation/Destruction. Each year has an element assigned to it based on forecasts & stuff like that. This year's attribute for the dog is Fire.
