Today I buried my little dog
and I feel I’ve been in a fog

She went with me to pray and even to comfort me,
when I had to look for a job.

I shared my food with her, my bed, my joys, my fears, my tears
She never knew she was a little dog, always focused on her world

I could CLAP and she’d come running
and when others saw how trained she was.
They always said…”Thats’ somthin”

Bella didn’t cry a tear, she gave it her very best shot
It was over OHHH so quickly….
I will miss her alot

I hugged one last time when the Doc finally came
Beter to end it now than to see her in pain

I buried my little dog today
I never knew such love.
So if you have a gift from God
make sure to love them hard
we never know when they will go. and be just a sweet memory
.

I know she is in Heaven now…Some Angles left me word
I Know that I will see my Bella again
and hike and play and laugh
and I will smile when I see her and her little tail wag.

That dog was my best, most faithfull and trusted friend. I always told myself, "if I could be half the man my dog was a dog, I would be a better man!" I was excited when I read about a man with a near death experience, who met his dog on other other side. I look forward to seeing my "Max" again. I had a beagle, a rescue dog from the pound.

It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service. Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words: Dear God, Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her.. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her. Love, Meredith We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey &Meredith and this note: Dear Meredith, Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love. Love, God Got this sent to me last week.This is one of the kindest things you may ever see..

Let me tell you what i felt, I felt her life rewind before me in my head about thirty seconds before she passed away. I also looked up to feel a small energy of wind blow into my face on a otherwise windless sunny day about five minutes after her passing. It was a thirteen year bond i will never forget. Sometimes its strange,when i think of her some days i immediately see a dog/s appear after wards or walk pass my house when i exit the front door of my house. Yes, dogs do have souls.

The bond we shared is essentially spiritual and for that it is logical to conclude that if I have a spirit/lifeforce so would he. My only confort with his recent passing is that someday we will be reunited again.

My answer was a solid, "Yes." I gave no thought as to whether or not our dog had a soul or a spirit. Rather, I based my answer on the simple fact that any Heaven I could envision would include every dog I had ever owned. Heaven and the after life includes whatever makes you the happiest...any dog lover would agree that would include the unconditional love of their loyal, trustworthy best friend. Nothing compares to the love of a dog.
