My Dog And I

My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
As this world comes alive
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
While compassion does survive
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
As time and space erodes
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Amidst life's roughest roads
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Up and down eternity's path
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
In the sunlight for a bath
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
With a taste of Heaven's bliss
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Nothing forward to remiss
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
At rest in God's sweet arms
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together

Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4)

Bear was our little three pound cuddly ball of white Poodle fur, who never had a nasty bone in his body. He would always neatly eat his food and drink his water, and would never bark or act up towards strangers. He was known for sensing the family’s moods and would always act accordingly to satisfy our longings.

As you can tell, Bear was just a well adjusted member of our family, who gave us many satisfying moments. So, why wouldn’t Bear go to dog heaven? Well, I just don’t know. The one thing I do know is that Bear gave us many years of unconditional love. Do dogs really go to heaven? Or is there a specific Dog Heaven?

None the less, if I don't go to heaven, then the entire scenario is mute.
