2. As Will Rogers said:
"If dogs don't go to heaven then I want to go wherever it is that they go"

22. I'm with Will...
If humans have a soul, so do dogs. A much cleaner one.

4. Gave me a much-needed laugh. Thanks. And this Presbyterian
DOES believe that all dogs (and rocks!) go to heaven.

5. thanks for the post...........
and if anyone is curious about this kind of stuff, I would never recommend the Bible...but would recommend reading "The Disappearance of the Universe" by Gary Renard.

Anyone who thinks that dogs have no soul is evidence of a being without any intellectual curiosity whatsoever, IMO.

8. Gotta agree with the presbys here. Dogs have no souls. At least they don't end up in hell.
Hell is for cats.

20. Hey! At least cats
don't lick their butts and then try to lick your mouth. Yuck.

If dogs have souls then so do cats.

23. dogs have souls. they go to heaven. try and teach a cat how to
dial 911 when you have a seizure like a dog did today, or smell cancer if you have it. God bless dogs. There is even one who can smell out dead bee hives to help with hive collapse. Cats AND dogs go to heaven. :)

Heaven is a long walk in the Autumn woods with a good friend.

14. Someone who has never been on a long romp in the woods with one.
If you're lucky enough to be invited along, spend some time in their environment and let them be in charge.

There are many kinds of intelligence, and dogs are smarter (in ways) than we know.

He hung in there a lot longer than the vet said he would. You still have time together.

Just love each other. That's forever.

something?? :shrug:

25. An old man and a hound named Rip
Travellers to unknown regions would be well-advised to take along the family dog. He could just save you from entering the wrong gate. At least, it happened that way once—in a mountainous area of the Twilight Zone.

10. Those are funny, but I think it was photoshopped.
Cars are parked in the same spot and the angles are all the same.

Maybe the first one is legit.

Thanks for the laugh.

17. dogs in heaven
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He
remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years.

He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets." The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book. "Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump." They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them. "What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.

"This is Heaven," was the answer.

"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too."

"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."

18. I love that story.
And I do believe, without a doubt, that dogs (and cats) have souls.

19. Twilight zone did a really good story on this question
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 12:51 PM by hankthecrank
Man had died and had his dog with him

Devil had a fancy gate pretend to be heaven but wouldn't the dog in

The man wouldn't go in because of his dog. Walked down the road to kind of run down gate dog invited in along with the man (was Heaven)

Beat me to it. But you told it better than I did.
