Attitude is everything. You can respond to everyday’s trials and tribulations in a positive nature or just be mad at the world because everything is not going as you would like. It is totally up to you. Your attitude can make a difference in your whole environment and the people around you.
A dog’s attitude is “Yippee, it is another wonderful day”. They are happy with life’s simple pleasures… food, shelter and even a little attention or acknowledgement. We could learn much from our furry friends. 
Be grateful for the food you eat and the roof over your head and acknowledge someone with a smile or a simple gesture…it could change their attitude.
A miniature pinscher is a perfect example of a little dog with a big attitude.
I was recently shopping and had the good fortune to find a very inspiring piece of art. A man named Rocky Jacobson created a very artsy alphabet with motivational words for each letter.
