* LivingForeverIsAwesome: By the third book, Bailey has fallen into this mindset. He realizes how much he gets to help people achieve their goals and make an impact on their lives, so he gladly reincarnates again each time he dies. Meeting a female dog named Lacey who can also reincarnate and keeps bumping into him in each life also makes him happy as well, as he's never had a companion on his journey before.
** In his first reincarnation in the third book, he doesn't get neutered because his owners kept putting it off, something they sheepishly admit to when it turns out he has puppies with Lacey, the female companion who keeps reincarnating along with him. Fortunately, this is the only time this happens, as both of them get responsibly neutered and spayed in each life after that before they get the chance to mate again.
* SeenItAll: By his last life in the second book, Bailey is completely zen about everything around him after seeing so much in his many reincarnations. He doesn't get surprised by much and doesn't have strong emotional reactions to anything, which makes him the perfect dog to be trained as a therapy dog for hospice. (Keep in mind, doing the math, he's probably lived longer over all his lives combined than some elderly ''humans'' have, so he's got a vast pool of life experience at this point.) This carries over to the third book, where nothing really riles him up no matter what situation he's in.

Max is a snappy Chihuahua/Yorkie, fitting the "yappy aggressive dog" stereotype associated with both breeds.
