We don't need empirical evidence for this one; the photos above are enough to convince us there's a doggie heaven. And we bet it's full of endless rawhides and infinite tennis balls.

Yep, dogs will even love long-haired hippie bastards like that.
Remember, dog spelled backwards is god.
After the death recently of a dearly loved family dog, a friend of mine posted the following verse, by an anonymous author:
I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying...
you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly
as you brushed away a tear.
“It’s me, I haven’t left you...
I’m well, I’m fine, I’m here.”
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times,
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today,
your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you
that I am not lying there.
I walked with you toward the house,
as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my paw on you.
I smiled and said, “It’s me.”
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know
that I was standing there.
It’s possible for me to be
so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
“I never went away.”
You sat there very quietly,
then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over...I smile
and watch you yawning
And say, “Goodnight, God bless,
I’ll see you in the morning.”
And when the time is right
for you to cross the brief divide,
I’ll rush across to greet you
and we will stand, side-by-side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

Hmm maybe that is why they like to “clean” themselves so much... angels don’t have those toys back in heaven.

Yea; I know; you’re right; a little sappy; but it was still good.
Or if you are dyslexic.
If you read the Bible verses that mention dogs, you have to conclude that God holds dogs in pretty low esteem. They are universally used as a picture/symbol of unbelievers and filthy scavengers.
I’m sorry if that does not fit the dog lover’s high opinion of their pets, but it is Biblically factual.
Biblical speaking us Gentiles do not fair much better.
But Bambi’s apparently worth killing. See story on “The Blaze.”
Catholics do not believe that dogs go to Heaven, because they have no souls, or at least that was the thinking when I was a kid. This was the source of The Great And Permanent Schism between my father and myself. Bottom line: I want to go where they go. I don’t think it would be worthwhile going anywhere else.
I pointed out to him Ecclesiastes 3, verses 18-21, and especially 21. He had no explanation for these words, other than to say that it was “Old Testament”.
That doesn’t at all speak for all Catholics. Paul Johnson believes at best there’s not a clear answer; and St. Francis would be hard pressed to buy into your “certainty”. There are plenty who don’t limit the Lord and what parts of His creation are rewarded eternally.
