"A man, he'll walk straight into Hell with both eyes open, but even the Devil can't fool a dog."
Earl Hamner, Jr.
(My favourite line from my favourite episode of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. This notion of eternal reward is precisely mine as well, dogs intact. You can see the scene here; colourized, sadly, but the shifting tints do enhance the sense of bardo.
Incidentally, Hamner not only wrote all of Serling's "hillbilly" episodes, he was also the creator and narrator of another well-loved series from my youth, The Waltons. His is that voice that supplies the show's abiding soul.)
