All dogs go to Heaven: Legendary late pooches [SLIDESHOW]

Dogs have the sweetest souls of all living beings. They’re loyal, perceptive, fun, perpetually happy and energetic, and protective. Anytime you’re sad, canines sense it, and they do what they can to lift your spirits.

But we all know it’s impossible to smile when pooches pass away. “Easy A” actress Amanda Bynes announced via Twitter on Tuesday that her missing Pomeranian, Little Angel had made the journey up to Heaven. We’re sorry for this loss, which is why we decided to pay a tribute to notable late dogs. In memory of Little Angel, Marley from “Marley and Me”, and many more deceased Fidos, take a look at some of the nurturing, playful, and adorable pups below that are no longer with us.
