Title Teaching a Bad Dog New Tricks

Belief I think that belief means that you have a goal and you will not let go of it. you will never give up on what you believe in.

2 Examples
"I strive to gain his level of happiness in the simplest of things"
"I was what some people would call "a dog" — a bad dog."

Favorite Passage
"I never had a dog before; I got Duncan at the urging of a friend who had probably grown as tired of my bachelor behavior as I had. My long work nights and weekends always ended with a lonely run, a bourbon or two, or a phone call to someone I didn't really listen to. All I talked about was me and what was wrong with my life. My friends stopped asking me out because I was always either at work or talking about work."

I think this pritty much sums up his life before he got Duncan, I think that people should look at there lives at this perspective, and see if they are in this same boat. because there are meny people these days that get to wrapped up in there work, and dont think about other people.
