A poignant, heart-warming story for everyone who has ever owned a pet, by the brilliant Nicholas Allan

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- 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.

Nicholas Allan is unique among picture book creators for his combination of off-beat humour and child appeal.
