The movies already showed us that “All Dogs Go To Heaven.” But is it our heaven? Do we get to see them again? And what would you say to your dog if you got one more reunion – in the afterlife?
I pondered this question when writing my new novel, “The Next Person You Meet In Heaven,” the sequel, after 15 years, to “The Five People You Meet In Heaven.” In the new book, a girl named Annie dies after years of thinking everything in her life was a mistake. In the afterlife, she meets a quintet of people waiting for her – as in the first book – and each one explains to Annie how her “mistakes” on earth were actually part of a bigger plan for a significant life.
One of the people Annie meets is not really a person at all, but her childhood dog - who saved her from a life of loneliness. The dog’s name was Cleo. And when Annie realizes it is her, she is awash with emotions from their time together on earth.
