All dogs go to heaven.
"Brian Myers knew he was in trouble when he fell to the floor. He had no feeling on his left side and couldnt stand up in the crawl space between his bed and the wall. It was really frightening I couldnt get up and I didnt realize at that moment that Id had a stroke, he said. My cellphone was on the dresser about 15 feet away, but there was no way I could get to it.
Seconds later, Myers, 59, felt something wet and rough on his face: his dogs tongue. Sadie, the 100-pound German shepherd he had rescued from an animal shelter near his Teaneck, N.J., home last fall, was standing above him with a look of concern on her face, he said.
She kept licking me and crying, so I reached my right hand up to pet her, then I grabbed her collar, recalled Myers, who had gone to bed just two hours before he fell on the evening of Jan. 16.
He was stunned by what happened next, he said. Sadie backed up and began pulling Myers inch by inch out of the crawl space, and then wiggled toward his dresser."

That's been our experience anyway.
