According to the writings of the middle ages&#8217; leading canine theologian, Augustine &#8212; or Auggie Doggy&#8211; goodness simply does not determine salvation.  It is, surprisingly the result of predestination.  This Calvinist theory suggests that a nasty yapping rug like a Yorshire terrier could wear a halo, while a loveable goofy Irish setter could burn in a forest of eternal damnation.  Sure, it&#8217;s unfair, but, on the other hand, there is no such thing as a really good dog.  If you want a pet that won&#8217;t shed or be cast into a lake of unquenchable fire, I&#8217;d suggest a goldfish. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"q2\" src=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\" alt=\"QuestionImage\" width=\"25\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Do good dead dogs go to heaven? <span class=\"pgee-read-more\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/archives\/358\"><br><br>---\u00a0Here&#39;s the answer from Dr. Science<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-question-questions-submitted-by-dr-science-readers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
