A man and His Dog
![]()
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.
"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 another 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 the 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, and 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," he answered.
"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."
Our daughter sent this email to me one day, saying it reminded her of her dad. In fact, it seemed so much like something Rick would do, that I wanted to share it with others that knew him.
I asked her to send me more. As word spread, I began receiving so many that I created the library. As time went by I had to create another, and another, and...

Since it's creation in June 2004, many of you have visited my Patriotic / Inspirational Libraries hundreds of thousands of times. Now, I want to help others avoid the wasted years of valuable time and torment that we experienced. I've added a Low-Cost Rehabilitation Therapy Library to include possible therapies, treatments cures for cancer, stroke... / brain injury victims, diabetes, heart, blood pressure / hypertension, Alzheimer's, rheumatism / rheumatoid arthritis, pain, hearing / vision / memory / balance & insurance - long term health care problems to read in privacy without ever leaving home.
On Easter Sunday 1994 my husband of 23 years at the time, Rick experienced a severe base of the brain stroke (torn vertebral artery) at the age of 44. It left his entire right side, concentration, memory, cognitive skills, vision and personality traits severely impaired.
The conventional medical establishment saved his life but did very little to help with motivation, attitude, inspiration and long-term rehabilitation.
That's when our long journey began!
The majority of Rick's recovery came after he was told by his medical doctor that he would probably never improve, was refused therapy and sent away.
After a short time in therapy Rick was let go and told that for any further therapy he was on his own. We were told that our insurance company refused to pay for any further therapy because he would probably never get much better anyway. Not being able to afford $150.00 per hour at the time on our own and being declined by the state Department of Rehabiltiation, Rick sank into a deep depression, began drinking while on antidepressants and became very bitter. It wasn't until later when he met Dr. Vincent a clinical psychologist that things began to improve.
We began searching for low-cost alternatives that we could afford and do/use at home.
Through years of searching, joining support groups and talking to others we learned more from ordinary people with experience than we did from the so called experts.
I've gathered possible alternative solutions to the sometime-embarrassing emotional, mental, physical, financial/income and spiritual problems that we encountered into one place for others that are too poor to pay but too wealthy to get aide like we are. Hopefully, it will help others to avoid the wasted years of torment we experienced!!! Continued > > >

It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to click on the button above to go to go to The Animal Rescue Site and click on their "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. Each click on the purple button on their site provides food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary.
This doesn't cost you a thing. Funding for food and care is paid by sponsors / advertisers and distributed to animals in need. They use the number of daily "button clicks" to determine the amount of food to donate. Please tell others!
