Ichabod might just be the most optimistic dog on the internet. He's the creation of a US digital artist who goes by the name of Ayla StarDragon, and as you can see from this selection of our favorite illustrations, it seems that nothing can kill his positive spirit.

Whether he's turning a tumble into a nap, laughing at himself in the face of insults, making the most of life giving him lemons, or simply cheering folks up with his trial of happy vibes, we could all learn a thing or two from Ichabod's optimistic outlook on the world.

Having to spend over 3000 KRW (about 3USD) for literally a pack of 3 lemons... Sometimes I wish life gave me lemons indeed. I'd enjoy lemonades more often.

    Many of these are too optimistic for my taste, but this one has much truth. Every day at least ought to have the chance to become a good one.

    And until the sun returns, take some time to appreciate the beauty of the clouds. The sky is the prettiest when the weather is unstable.
