Jon Gordon
An inspirational fable that guides you to use positivity to reach your goals. In a pet store, there lives a negative dog who has two choices: continue to be the negative dog that nobody wants, or become the positive dog that will lead to a better outcome. Whichever one he "feeds" will grow. As the negative dog puts these lessons into practice, he learns how to change his attitude in order to be his best. When you become positive, you change yourself, and also turn a toxic environment into a happy place that improves the lives of those around you.
