The tables
Why the pair is rated this way
The Rabbit and the Dog are one of the six harmonies (六合), the pairs the classical tables say combine. 卯 and 戌 are 5 steps apart on the circle of twelve, one yin and one yang, which is part of why they fit.
The Rabbit is a wood sign and the Dog an earth sign. In the controlling cycle wood holds earth, so the Rabbit is read as the one who sets limits and the Dog as the one who pushes against them.
The Rabbit rules the spring month that starts around Mar 6 and the hours from 5 am to 7 am; the Dog rules the autumn month that starts around Oct 8 and the hours from 7 pm to 9 pm.
For comparison, the Rabbit's harmony partner is the Dog and its trine partners are the Pig and the Goat; the Dog's harmony partner is the Rabbit and its trine partners are the Tiger and the Horse.
Reading
In love, friendship and work
Traditionally the Rabbit is gentle, tactful and elegant, and the Dog is loyal, honest and protective. The Rabbit tends to bring kindness and calm and look for a peaceful home; the Dog tends to bring faithfulness and look for fairness.
In love, a six-harmony pair is the classic easy match: the two branches are said to combine into something new, so the bond tends to feel natural rather than negotiated.
As friends or co-workers they tend to keep each other in check, which can sharpen the work as long as neither tries to run the other.

Your pair
Check two birth years
A zodiac year starts in late January or February, not on January 1: Chinese New Year calendars switch at Lunar New Year, and saju switches at Lichun, around February 4. If you were born in January or early February, you may belong to the year before.
Beyond the birth year
On Bias Match the animal that counts most is not the birth year but the day branch, the animal in each person's day pillar. If two people's day branches are Rabbit (卯) and Dog (戌), the compatibility calculator scores that check as a full plus, next to five other checks.
The text is fixed sentence templates filled in with the classical relation tables built into the Bias Match engine; no AI model generates or rewrites it. For entertainment only: the zodiac describes old patterns, not what will happen between two people.
