a cartoon illustration of a man playing with a dog

One day, a man named Tim decided to take his new puppy, Max, to obedience training. The trainer was teaching the dogs how to respond to basic commands like “sit” and “stay.” All the other dogs seemed to be doing well--except Max. He was too busy sniffing the floor, chasing his tail, and ignoring every word Tim said.Frustrated, Tim tried to get Max’s attention by holding up a treat and firmly saying, “Max, sit!” Max looked at Tim, wagged his tail excitedly, and then promptly lay down and rolled over instead.The trainer chuckled and said, “Well, at least he’s showing enthusiasm… just in his own unique way!”Tim sighed. At least he knew one thing: Max was going to keep life interesting!
