NORTHAMPTON, MA—Three days after burying his beloved labrador retriever, Daniel MacNeil, 9, was told about doggy heaven and hell by his fourth-grade teacher, Sister Doris Behnke. “Don’t cry, Daniel. I’m sure Shiner was a very good doggy,” Behnke told the mourning child Tuesday. “He’s probably in Doggy Heaven right now, running through its big green fields and chasing squirrels. Only disobedient doggies who chew on the furniture or lift their legs on the carpet will burn in the eternal, white-hot kennel fires of Doggy Hell.” (From The Onion)

I don’t believe in Doggy Hell.
If there is a people heaven, I bet doggies go there too.
I had to let go of my 16 year old Pekingese, my best friend on January 3, 2003. Believe she is in heaven.

I think your teaqcher is stupid for telling you about doggy hell and theres is no such thing.
P.S. sorry for your loss you will once be together agian one day.
In gods eyes its a blink away but in life will go on.
My beloved dog ‘Pebbles’ passed away aged 9 years on 3rd Feb 2004. I am convinced she will meet me again one day and that she will have been met in heaven by own canine family who went before her.
i believe that there is some sort of Heaven for doggies =) as i lost my puppy Missy when she was only two year old =( an someone is taking care of her =) thank you
my freinds cousion dog got ran over and nearly died i believe that it wasn’t it time to go to doggy heaven and that what they told him as well so when you think about it there must be a doogy heaven or something close to it otherwise who else is wathcing our four legged

After reading this, I finally had the courage to take a 12 gague to the forehead of my mentally retaded son. I buried him in the garden, with the vegetables.
No lettuce for me.
I really think that message 12 should be removed. You shouldn’t have the right to write such messed up messages. If it is a kid I am sorry that you can think that way and I think you need help…if adult then you are one messed up person and should get help as well!!!
My dog Mallery was a Rottweiler and was the most docile dog, she wouldn’t hurt a fly. She was most loved in my family and she will be missed forever. I miss the last moments we had together, eating a big bacon cheeseburger and a icecream cone moments before she was put down. I love Mallery and know she is running in heaven, so yes I do believe I will see her one day and is looking down on me until I do!!!!! Mallery I love you!!!!!! Love Scott, Melissa, Karen and Dakota….We miss ya!!!!!
