The Dog card
Hi olivia1,
Yes, the Dog card is the card for friends, family, relatives, etc., basically people you know well and have had acquaintanceships with at the least. A lot of readers can make the mistake of thinking the Dog can be someone new or someone not yet known, but it is not. The Dog is only ever someone with whom you share/have shared a friendship or other close relation. I think the only time the Dog can be predicting someone new is when you are directly asking your cards if you will meet someone (in the near future) and you pull the Dog card, among other cards of new encounters, like the Garden, the Rider, the Child or the Stork, to name a few.
