Our young man Brad was having a bad day...or so he thought until his pal Plaid showed him that the only person that can make it a truly bad day was himself. It's all about how we look at things in life, and by golly, I gotta say....if we could all look at the world a little more like our furry friends, it might be THAT much better for it! I mean think about it...if we didn't let the little things get us down, take someone's off the cuff remark to heart, or let another's foul mood influence our own...how much happier could we all be?
It just goes to show you that you may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but young or young at heart, they can certainly teach us a thing or two. A great read for youngsters just starting to figure out the wide world of FEELINGS, as well as a booster shot of positivity for those well on in years.
