that dog looks a lot like my old dog Jack. he was a 20 dollar pound hound and a damn good dog. both of my kids learned to walk holding on to his fur. he was protective as hell too. never had him cut, so anything in heat within say a mile was fair game to him. had a neighbor who had a pure bread chow that had 3 litters by Jack. he wanted to shoot the damn dog as he called him. his chow was behind a 6 foot fence too, jack always found a way ! best hunting dog I ever had too, the only problem was he thought any rabbits belong to him. one time he made a group of hunting dogs look bad by jumping up a few rabbits after the other dogs worked the field, thing was he was close to 14 at the time and I didn't load the shotgun as I figured I give the old boy a walk thru the fields had to put him down a 16 years of age, his hips where shot, vet said heart and lungs where sound, it was the rest of him that was failing him. like being blind for the last year although he still got around like he wasn't . I miss that old dog. hope to see when I cross that bridge too. saying goodbye is the hardest thing I ever did.
Well, Traditional Christianity (now long defunct) had it that at the Second Coming we would be resurrected in our physical bodies, healed and perfected. The Earth also would be reformed as a Second Eden. That means that all of creation is resurrected, plants and animals, so if you are a Believer, you will see Jack again.
all dogs go to Heaven. I have nothing, no Scriptural back up, nothing other than the knowledge of how the Lord could/would work. I believe He put dogs here to show us what He meant by unconditional love, because we won't learn it from each other - we need to 'see' it, and dogs demonstrate that. In short - after you pass on, if there are no dogs there, you aren't in Heaven. Original Grandpa
