Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.''

These are some of the lessons you might learn…
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them , Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride . Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it’s in your best interest ,practice obedience.
Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising . Run romp and play daily
Thrive on attention and let people touch you .Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass . On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
When you’re happy dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you’re scolded , don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout . Run right back and make friends.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk . Eat with gusto and enthusiasm . Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal . Never pretend to be something you’re not .
If what you want lies buried ,dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day , be silent , sit close by and nuzzle him gently.
