What is Heaven about?

Dill the dog is getting ready to leave for heaven, so he packs his suitcase and explains his plans to Lily, his owner. While they wait for the angels, Dill imagines a paradise filled with lampposts, smells and meaty bones. Lily has her own, very different idea of heaven. As they debate whose vision is best, both friends make the most of their final moments together, sharing humour, love and a tender goodbye.
