Do Puppies Go To Heaven?

This is a poem written by Emma Brant in the 1960's about our family dog DoDo (pronounced DoeDoe). She was hit by a car and died. We were all heartbroken but I remember how this poem calmed me. If any of you have lost a pet that's been dear to you, I hope this will be comforting to you as well.



"Do Puppies Go To Heaven?"

Do puppies go to heaven?
My little darling asked.
Her face was wreathed in sadness.
Her eyes, in tears were basked.
Her precious little puppy
So full of life and fun,
When playing in the garden
Out in the road had run!
The driver wasn't careless,
For he could scarcely see
The little ball of life and fun,
So swift a form was she.
I asked my loving Savior,
The one so meek and mild,
For answer to the question
Asked by our precious child.
Assurance came from Heaven,
The God who made us all
Does love each living creature,
He saw the puppy fall.
And in His loving Home, Dear,
There is a special place
For all the little puppies
To romp and roam and race.
And so, my little darling,
Remember God above
Will care for little "DoDo"
And keep her in His love.
