Grandpappy the Angel Dog

Losing a favorite pet is usually a child's first encounter with death. It's nice to think they just get a new job watching over us from above.

“I will be your angel dog.”

Grandpappy doesn't really leave the family behind. He just trades his leash for a pair of wings to keep everyone safe.

Heaven for a dog sounds a lot like a never ending summer day. There are plenty of treats and no fences to hold them back.

The bond between a kid and their dog is deeper than words. Even when the dog is gone, that connection stays tucked in their heart.
