two kinds of dogs

Saw a dog being carried around, perfectly calm and relaxed, resting in its owner's arms. No particular will over its circumstances or fear over lack of control. Just trusting and staying open to where life was taking it, glancing around with a look of good-natured humour. Then saw another dog being carried, shaking and whining, anxiously barking at everything that passed.

The situations were the same, the world was the same, but the way the dogs responded decided their experiences.
