I was afraid to just title this “Dog heaven” for fear you’d all think something bad happened.  Nothing bad happened, I just ran across the sweetest little children’s book.  It’s called “Dog Heaven” and it’s written and illustrated by Cynthia Rylant.  It’s a picture book that explains what dogs get to do in heaven.  If you ever have to explain it to a little one I recommend this book.  Heck.  It even made me feel better about the three dogs I’ve loved and lost over my lifetime.

A sample of what’s inside:

“When dogs go to Heaven, they don’t need wings because God knows that dogs love running best.  He gives them fields.  Fields and fields and fields.”

“and…

“They run beside the water and bark and bark and God watches them from behind a tree and smiles.”

“And, of course, all God’s dogs sit when the angels say “sit.”

“And each dog is petted and reminded how good he is, all day long.”

I think all of you would enjoy this book, check to see if your library has it!  Sure it’s a picture book designed for small children..but it connects with the small child in me, and it will for you too.
