Lily's beloved dog Dill is off to heaven, and as they wait for the angels, Lily and Dill argue about what heaven is like, remember their lives together, and say good-bye.
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.
A gentle tale of a girl, her dog, and what happens when the time comes to say goodbyeDill 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—with meat on them! But Lily completely disagrees; she thinks heaven is quite different. Luckily, they agree to disagree just in time for a fond, and very poignant, last goodbye.
