With their compassionate nature and love for family and friends, animals are truly remarkable, in this life and the one after:  

• Canada goose Lucy Goosey grew up and had a family of her own, but she never forgot where she came from.
•  It's not a fish tale—whales use names to identify themselves and each other.
• Sweet and friendly pit bull Louis Vuitton appeared in court to testify against the man who set him on fire.
• When a New York goose lost her mate, a deer stepped in to help her out. 
• Researchers are presenting evidence for something we've known for a long time—that all dogs go to heaven.

Worried about what will happen to Rover when the Rapture comes? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets has you covered.

Evangelical Christians who want to ascend to heaven during the Rapture—but who worry about leaving their heathen hounds and hamsters behind—can now rest easy. For a mere $110, this company of animal-loving atheists and "certified sinners" (how often can you use that on a résumé?) promises to "step in when you step up to Jesus."

Personally, I don't see the necessity of this service, because in my world, all dogs go to heaven.

Also, I'll be damned if I'm going anywhere without my dog, Henry. But that's just me.
