The Commandments of Life, As Dogs Would Write Them
Accept others for who they are and love them unconditionally.
Be loyal.
No matter what happens, or how much someone is mad at you, run back and make friends.
Be happy with who you are.
Live for today.
Go with the flow.
Life is the journey itself.
Make the world a better place.
Have fun!
Have everlasting and absolute faith.
