Book Review - The Positive Dog

I recently stumbled across the book “The Positive Dog” by Jon Gordon and was immediately drawn to it. How could I not be? The title alone incorporates two of my favorite things, living positively and dogs!

This book is not just a cute dog story; it has a very important underlying message about the importance of living a positive lifestyle.

We learn the difference between being negative and positive from these two shelter dogs, Matt and Bubba. Matt is a sad and pessimistic little dog who feels sorry for himself for being at a shelter. He doesn’t trust anyone and his negative attitude drives potential adopters away when they visit him. Matt meets big dog Bubba who is just the opposite. Despite his circumstance, he constantly feeds his positive dog. He takes Matt under his paw and teaches him the strategies to being positive.

He explains to Matt that we all have a positive and a negative dog inside us. And the one we feed the most is the one that comes out. He teaches Matt different techniques to feed his positive dog. As Matt puts Bubba’s advice into practice, he starts to notice his life changing for the better.

This is a heartwarming and inspirational story for anyone who wants to feed their positive dog.
