The dog who will have a golden tail

It was a week ago that our church's comfort dog, Scooter Kanzler, passed on to heaven.  I can't describe just how much we shall miss him.

But I expect Connie, his loving mother and master, and Scooter will be reunited again in eternity.  Not every theologian agrees with that thought.

I side with the sainted Martin Luther who, in comforting a child during the loss of a dog, said: Be thou comforted, little dog.  Thou too in the resurrection shall have a little golden tail.
