Dogs In Heaven
Author unknown
An old man and his dog were walking down this dirt road with
fences on both sides, they came to a gate in the fence and
looked in, it was nice grassy, woody areas, just what a 'huntin'
dog and man would like, but it had a sign saying
'no trespassing' so they walked on. They came to a beautiful
gate with a person in white robes standing there.
"Welcome to Heaven," he said.
The old man was happy and started in with his dog following him.
The gatekeeper stopped him. "Dogs aren't allowed, I'm sorry but
he can't come with you."
"What kind of Heaven won't allow dogs? If he can't come in, then
I will stay out with him. He's been my faithful companion all
his life, I can't desert him now."
"Suit yourself, but I have to warn you, the Devil's on this road
and he'll try to sweet talk you into his area, he'll promise you
anything, but, the dog can't go there either. If you won't leave
the dog, you'll spend Eternity on this road."
So the old man and dog went on. They came to a rundown fence
with a gap in it, no gate, just a hole. Another old man was
inside.
"Scuse me Sir, my dog and I are getting mighty tired, mind if
we come in and sit in the shade for awhile?"
"Of course, there's some cold water under that tree over there.
Make yourselves comfortable."
"You're sure my dog can come in? The man down the road said dogs
weren't allowed anywhere."
"Would you come in if you had to leave the dog?"
"No sir, that's why I didn't go to Heaven, he said the dog
couldn't come in. We'll be spending Eternity on this road, and
a glass of cold water and some shade would be mighty fine right
about now. But, I won't come in if my buddy here can't come too,
and that's final."
The man smiled a big smile and said "Welcome to Heaven."
"You mean this is Heaven? Dogs ARE allowed? How come that fellow
down the road said they weren't?"
"That was the Devil and he gets all the people who are willing
to give up a life long companion for a comfortable place to
stay. They soon find out their mistake, but, then it's too late.
The dogs come here, the fickle people stay there. GOD wouldn't
allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them
to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in
death?"
