Do Dogs go to Heaven?

The question sort of popped up one day.

I caught my dog praying.

I started to wonder who he was praying to.

Then, I thought about pets going to heaven.

Dogs and cats and maybe birds... OK.... Snakes and Spiders and Lizards.... ah... problem there.

I am impressed by my dog's praying. He goes the whole mile.
He's flat on his back in a position of total submission with his front paws touching and stretched out over his head. He does appear to be sleeping but I am sure he is praying.

I did sort of wonder what he was praying for, and a little bit about what he visualizes God to be.
I also wondered what God might smell like to a dog. Bacon? I'm going with the smell of the fresh air after a light rain. Danny really seems to enjoy sniffing the air then. Even to my pitiful human nose, it smells great.

I've never seen my cats look anything like they were praying. They might be on a more equal footing and consider it normal conversation. Cat's are like that. Loving, friendly and caring... they do all those. Worshipful... ah... not so much.

You have to have a dog to see worship. You can be a real moron and a jerk but when your dog looks at you.... well.... you should be paying attention and giving that look a lot of thought.

I have a dog.

He teaches me things.
