They give unconditional love

We don't need empirical evidence for this one; the photos above are enough to convince us there's a doggie heaven. And we bet it's full of endless rawhides and infinite tennis balls.

Their heaven is here, with us ... we are God to them and we’d better love ‘em like HE loves us.
Dogs are angels disguised. That’s why the Moslems don’t like them.
Fabulous video. I’m a big fan of Henri’s, follow him on Twitter and bought his book.
IMO, dogs are one of the proofs that there is a God.
There was a treatment available, but was very expensive. After the picture went viral, the guy got multiple offers from people to pay for the dog's treatment. I haven't heard the eventual outcome.
This picture is more like "unconditional trust".
Unfortunately, the dog died just this week.

Oh yeah, 23 pages of ads and cookies to click through! Sorry, ain’t falling for that one no more!
Please don’t and Thank You.
But, it sounds like Schoep's last year was much easier as a result of the treatments.
NSA’s tracking me quite sufficiently, you’re welcome.
What a sweetie!
Now if you just stop posting you would fall off the Radar all together. We would miss you, but we would understand.
I sure hope that there is a heaven for dogs. My two will be there. After losing my career, my marriage and my house all in one year, my two ‘girls’ remain steadfast. Looking more and more like #18 for me. Dogs certainly do give unconditional love, more than can often be said of a spouse.
Don’t let the “Kill all Pit Bulls” crowd see picture 3 & 11! They will presume those two pups are just enjoying the scent of their dinner before the kill!
Gentlemen of the jury—
The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with out happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies from him perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is the dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.
When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad but open, in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even unto death.

We have a ‘puggles’ mixture beagle and pug. Snores at night, lol! Recent study indicated dogs have the equivalent IQ of an 18 month old child and in fact their brains are getting bigger given their long association with humans. Phew cats!
