[Dailydrool] re dogs in heaven

[via Dailydrool]

Vikki's article about the Pope weighing in on the topic of dogs in heaven got me to thinking about other well-known people who have had thoughts on the subject. Here are some of my favorites:

—Robert Louis Stevenson (author, Treasure Island
If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
—Will Rogers (actor, Connecticut Yankee [VHS]
If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.
—James Thurber (author, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.
—Mark Twain (author, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
