Below are seven deeply touching poems about dogs in heaven, perfect for remembering your furry friend and honoring their spirit through lasting keepsakes.

🐾 Poem #1: "Rest in Peace in Dog Heaven"

Original poem by PersonalizedFury

In fields of light where angels roam,
You’ve found a place to call your home.
No pain, no fear—just skies so wide,
And wagging tails on every side.

You chased the sun, you caught the breeze,
You barked your joy among the trees.
And now you rest where spirits play,
A peaceful heart at end of day.

The leash is hung, your bowl is still,
But love like yours no time can kill.
Your pawprints faded from the floor,
Yet carved in hearts forevermore.

So rest, sweet friend, in skies above,
Surrounded by eternal love.
Until the day we meet again—
You’re safe in Dog Heaven. Amen.
