Many years ago, I adoped a dog from and animal shelter. Snow was about 2 yrs old at the time. He was about 40lbs and when I got him, he had black spots on his skin. The vet says he was most likely a dalmation/lab mix. As he got older, the spots disappeared. Snow was a faithful companion to me for 20 yrs. He slept at the foot of my bed, laid close to me when I was in another room, and loved to go for walks and play fetch. As he grew older, he was no longer able to get up on the bed or go up and down the few steps I had to go outside, so I would carry him. One night he wanted up in my lap which was unusual. I held him in my arms and he put his head on my shoulder. After what seemed like just a few minutes, he let out a big sigh and was gone. That was 5 yrs ago, and I still miss my faithful companion. I like to believe that he will be waiting to great me in Heaven.
