Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letterbox at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, ‘To Meredith’ in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, ‘When a Pet Dies.’ Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page were the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn’t sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don’t need our bodies in heaven, I don’t have any pockets to keep your picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I’m easy to find. I am wherever there is love.
Love, God

It hasn’t interred the hearts and mind those things God has prepared for those who Love Him.!! There are many who say: animals don’t have a soul, so they can’t go to Heaven, We do though and when we arrive in Heaven, IF, IF We have a memory of a special pet or animal or even more and we ask God if he, she, they could have a place somewhere in Heaven, well, I believe God can do a lot of things that’s not Spelled out in His Word, The Bible, so don’t say can’t, won’t, shouldn’t or any other negative when it concerns God, Anything is possible, you just Never Know until you ASK.!!
That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read I’ve had several that were very special my last dog was Tasha.
Wow what a wonderful and heart touching story…And God is real…He is the reason for the story. Thank you for sharing. To show love and spread kindness

این را که میدانی خداوند تا امر بوجود آمدن هر جسم یا شی ء میکند آن چیز بوجود می آید( خواه با میل خود خواه با اکراه ) و وقتی انسان به بهشت عدن میرود خداوند مهربان و بزرگ به او این امتیاز را داده که مانند خداوند هرچه را که اراده کند به آنی برایش موجود میشود و خداوند برای انسان در آن محدودیتی نگذاشته پس نتیجه میگیریم که هرچه در ذهن انسان بهشتی خطور نماید قابل موجود شدن است مثال اسب شاخ دار یا پری دریایی یا شیر شاه.
امیدوارم که اظهار نظر من شما را راهنمایی کرده باشد.
