> 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 loved once come home, always run to greet them
> 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
> Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
> 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 or her gently
> Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
> On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
> Bond with your pack
> Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
