Awesome book

Loved this book and the story. I will definitely recommend it to others as I begin my journey to feed the positive dog.

Cute story

Any additional comments?

It's a cute and uplifting story. Most of the message about positive attitude is one that we've heard before, but in a really unique way.

great short listen

the way we think and act matter. this was a short and powerful reminder of that with practical ideas to use.

lifechanging

Excellent book, i have listen to it many times and i recommend it to anyone.

Enlightening

Was a great reminder of what I already knew but had let slip away. Perfect way to illustrate the point.
I would have liked it a lot better if the narrator would have made the dog's voices more fun.

The kids give it 5 stars

My kids loved the story line, its message, and the jokes. This book gave us all something to think about and how we can all improve to feed our own positive dogs.

INSPIRING!

What a timeless reminder of keeping life simple. Loving yourself and others is truly the key to the happiness that is easily overlooked in our crazy busy lives. A great reminder to slow down and “live”.

I enjoyed listening to this book

… and learn a lot too! Many good lessons and tips told through a cute and touching story of 2 dogs in a shelter. Brightened up my days and even tugged on my heart.

Good info on how to be more positive

STORY - (self help) The author of this book uses a cute, short story about two dogs who live in an animal shelter to make his point. One dog has a negative attitude (Matt) and the other has a positive attitude (Bubba). Throughout the story Bubba teaches Matt simple steps how to be happier and more positive in daily life. There are many good lessons in the book, but the bottom line is that you need to continuously work at finding the good side of things and being thankful for them. The rewards are better health, less stress, being happier, attracting more friends, etc., etc. I don't consider myself a negative person, but I still think I will benefit from having heard this little story.

PERFORMANCE - The author reads his own work, but I would have preferred a professional narrator. He does an okay job, though.

OVERALL - Recommended for everyone. It's only 1 1/2 hours long and is a pleasant, easy listen. Audible categorizes it as a business/professional book, and I can definitely see how some of the advice would help in a business or team setting as well as for individuals.

cute

Fun, light hearted. It has great points that you have heard in my other positive affirmation books. This book just puts a fun spin on it. the last 15 minutes or so were my favorite.
