Life Lessons from My Dog

February 10, 2023 Mark Ostach

This holiday break my family and I watched a ton of movies, including ‘A Dog’s Purpose’. At the end of the movie, Bailey, the main dog shared the following 5 life lessons: 

  1. Have fun when possible.
  2. Find someone to save and save them.
  3. Lick the ones you love.
  4. Don’t get all sad faced about what happened or upset of what could have happened.
  5. Just be here now.

This movie and these lessons got me thinking about the life lessons I’ve learned from our dog, Jones, who unfortunately passed away over the holiday break. Enjoy these lessons and a little reflection question for you after each one.
