Got this in my e-mail today. Thought you might like it.

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the*
scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered
dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He
wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a
high, white stone wall along one side of the road.

It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill it was broken by*
a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he
saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like Mother of Pearl, and the*
street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked
toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked. "Of course sir.
Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The
man* gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the
traveller asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and
continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came*
to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never*
been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man
inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

*"Excuse me!" he called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"

**"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there". The man pointed to a place
that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

***** "How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.

***** "There should be a bowl by the pump." They went through the gate, and*
sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some
to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man
who was standing by the tree waiting for them.

"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked. "This is* Heaven,"
he answered. * "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the*
road said that was Heaven, too."
*"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope.
That's Hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they*
screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."

That was an episode of the original Twilight Zone. It was called "The
Hunt." It's on Vol 25 of the DVD set--which is really cheap on Amazon
today.
