My reflection is that the way you face life affects how you will live. If you are always angry and at the moment of meeting someone you are angry, most probably that person will leave you apart or won't be happy to talk to you. But if you are open and happy to meet new people the most probable case is that that new person you are meeting will be glad to talk to you.
My reflection would be that you have to grateful with what you have and you have to take life easily and happily. If not bad things will happen to you, although this is a story and the 1000 happpy and the other 1000 unhappy dogs were the reflection.
