Did you have to pay royalties to Rod Serling's family for this? Old =
episode of the Twilight Zone. The man died trying to separate his dog =
from a raccoon while they were out hunting. Both drowned and you have =
the rest of the story. The guy in heaven (the real one) said they don't =
allow dogs in hell because dogs can smell the fire and brimstone.

If you don't read the whole thing, just read the "Moral of this Story" =
at
the end, it made sense this morning.=20

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the
scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead =
for
years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of =
the
road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was =
broken
by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch =
that
looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked =
like
pure gold.
He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a =
man at
a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out. "Excuse =
me,
where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.=20
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought =
right
up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler
asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and
continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After a long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a =
dirt
road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been
closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man =
inside,
leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there." The man pointed to a place that
couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by t he pump." They went through the gate, and =
sure
enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave
some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was
standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said......"The man down the road =
said
that was Heaven, too!"
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates?
Nope. That's Hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they =
screen
out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."
Moral of this Story
Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without =
writing
a word, maybe this could explain; when you are very busy, but still want =
to
keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes.
When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you =
forward
jokes.
When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, =
you
forward jokes.
And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still
important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you =
get?
A forwarded joke.
So my friend, next time you get a joke, don't think that you've been =
sent
just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and =
your
friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.
