Someone I know perfectly captures what it means to have that upbeat dog vibe. Folks throw around the phrase for any cheerful dude, yet this one matches an actual canine in every way. Sure, he gets thrilled seeing friends, stays gentle no matter how rude others act, brings joy wherever he goes, and behaves well overall. But he also goes nuts yapping at strangers, needs prevention from gobbling up random junk like fabric or gross stuff on the ground and even his own mess, rubs against cushions, pokes his snout into personal areas in a friendly but awkward manner, and occasionally relieves himself indoors when overjoyed, plus his fur sheds all over the place.
