my friend was born in the year of the dog

My friend and I are supposed to be compatable since he was born in the year of the horse, and I in the year of the dog, but he refuses to have very much to do with me, he says he was hurt twice and isn't willing to try again. I've already treated him better than any one he has previously known, but he treats me like an actual dog. What can I do? He allows me to stay, but hopes I'll have enough to leave soon.
