Dogs Go To Heaven

I am sure that dogs go to Heaven As sure as my soul shall ascend For what kind of place would Heaven be If it didn't take man's best friend? Now some might say that I'm crazy For dogs don't even have a soul But God surely knows that I miss her And her fate is in His control She was faithful and loyal just like me And always followed commands Just a few things that the Bible says That we need to enter His hands A dog has never sinned against Heaven So there's nothing for them to confess I wonder if God ever talks to the dogs For there's nothing that He doesn't bless I am sure that dogs go to Heaven And I know that mine's on her way For yesterday the Vet found a tumor And we buried her earlier today R. I. P. Bess

I'm sure she's there, my friend. I have three dogs and two cats up there myself. My condolences. Ralph

Yes, she is in heaven right now and you will see her again, Larry. I too had to have a pet put to sleep. And I wrote about it like you are doing with your poem for Bess. Also, I had to give up my dog Ollyver. A few days later he visited me in a dream so real that i almost believe he was coming back to see me on his way toward heaven. I like to think that is what happened!That he actually appeared to me in a vision. Great poem.
