Summary
A poignant, heart-warming story for everyone who has ever owned a pet, by the brilliant Nicholas Allan
Dill the dog knows his time is up so he packs his case and tells Lily, his owner, that he’s off “up there”.
“Can I come too?” asks Lily.
“Er … not yet,” replies Dill.
While he is waiting for the angels to collect him, Dill explains to Lily what he thinks heaven is like - hundreds of lampposts to pee against, lots of whiffy things to smell and bones everywhere …
