In-Depth:

Mighty Dog Meets Aphrodite:
With so much discord in the world, who couldn't use some beauty and harmony?  Thank heavens for the charming and gracious ways of a little Libran pup to bring everything back into perfect equanimity and equipoise. Libran pooches are the peacemakers of the zodiac, blessed with an innate sense of balance.  You'll rarely see your Libran darling display any unpleasant or extreme behaviors. Gentle as a lamb and gorgeous as a supermodel, it's as if she were born with a perfect pedigree and manners to boot.  The Libran's soul purpose is to charm and compliment you, her partner for life. She will do everything in her puppy powers to please and accommodate you. You will always come first, as Librans want nothing more than to please their other half.  To them, life is one grand balancing act. Their mission is to keep everything flowing smoothly. They will always avoid the ugliness of extremes.

All You Need is love:
Librans abhor nothing more than confrontation and fighting. It completely throws them out of whack. You know the saying "War is harmful to children and other living things"? This goes double for your Libran pooch. She's ultra-sensitive to conflict. A war-like home environment, discord, anger and injustice will flip her scales, so it's advisable to do everything you can to keep the peace around the home front. If you're a more tempestuous type of human, she'll happily give you a course in anger management, letting it all just roll off your back. What's worth getting so worked up about? For Venus-ruled Libra, having peace of mind is the highest virtue. Why sweat the small stuff? Life is so beautiful, so enjoyable, and so harmonious when we all just get along and love each other. Easy-going Libran doggie will teach you how to kick the trifles and petty problems with her pretty little heels.  Anger is so unbecoming. This little love goddess Dog Star knows that beauty and harmony have to rule.

With Liberty and Justice and Doggie Treats for All:
Libran doggies can't stand seeing injustice. They'd weep over your morning Times if they knew how to read it. Don't try to hide it from them, though. They want to make the world a better place. You'll have to keep them informed, because they'll know intuitively when their Libran sense of fairness is needed. If she can get her paws on writings by Gandhi or MLK she'll beg you to read them to her at bedtime. This sweet little pup wants everyone to enjoy the good life. Watch your harmonious pup in action at the park. She'd never let another dog steal a toy or a bone from her friend. She won't fight though, she'll use more evolved tactics, such as barking diplomatically or convincing a human to come to her aid. She'd make a wonderful lawyer for the underdog. Intensely loyal and devoted to justice, if your Libran dog star feels you are being treated unfairly, she'll immediately start barking a well-thought, balanced argument in your defense.

If the Libra dog could talk, he or she would say:

HMMM, I can't make up my mind.
Do you like me?
Can you put some sugar on this kibble?

What a Libra dog wants in an owner:

The Pretty Partner:
Tell me a thousand times a day that I'm pretty! I need you to want me to go everywhere with you. We're a team: two peas in a pod, two bugs in a rug, two halves that make a whole.  I want to do everything with you! Everything's better when we're together, don't you agree?! Oh, how I love someone chill, someone who can really go with the flow: just like me. I can't stand people who sweat the small stuff.  What's worth getting so stressed out about anyway?

Fair and Square:
Okay, so I sometimes have a hard time making up my mind. I like a pleasantly decisive owner, as long as you choose well and fairly. I really need someone who understands how to keep things in perfect equilibrium. I will give you everything but please don't take advantage of my good nature. I can be a bit naïve and gullible but I'm no dummy. Don't underestimate my intelligence. I am a brilliant judge of character and will sense when you are treating me unfairly. I really need an owner who will do the "right" thing. If you try to skirt around the law or go against your conscience, it's going to affect my kidneys.

Doggie Golightly:
I love to be around people where I can flirt and flirt so if you're more of a wallflower, this may not be a love connection for me. I prefer a socialite, especially someone on the A-list so they can show off my beauty to other beautiful people who will call me "gorgeous" all the time.  So, I'm a bit narcissistic; who isn't? I'm such a charmer: I'll have all of your friends and family wrapped around my little paw instantly. If you need to use me as a girl or boy magnet: I'm your dog! I attract people to me like bees to honey! If you don't charm them, I will!
