Will Rogers stated long ago, “If There Are No Dogs In Heaven. Then When I Die, I Want To Go Where They Went.“
Many people who have had near death experiences, have written they have seen dogs and cats as they go through the tunnel toward the light. Recently, a friend of ours was on his death bed. His wife told me before he died, he saw his old friends and his mother who had passed away standing in the room. His beloved late dog was there too and ran to him. These stories of people seeing their loved ones convinced me. All our beloved pets go to heaven.
Dogs have special roles in all of my books. I have given some of them the names of my late dogs and the dog and cat characters are woven into the storylines.
We put our precious rescue dog, Tuffy, to sleep because she was so ill at seventeen. The next day as we got into our car with our other three dogs, I sincerely felt her presence along with our two other late dogs. It was just a moment, but so clear to me that Tuffy’s spirit was near.
Our vet told me dogs don’t fear death. They don’t wonder if Mom is going to take them to the park tomorrow. All they think of is now. I’ve had many dogs over the years and every one of them is special. Tuffy was a wonderful dog and I will miss her greatly. Yet I know in my heart she’ll be waiting with our other late dogs at the end of the rainbow bridge.
