A German shepherd, a doberman, and a cat all died at the same moment. They found themselves before the Throne of God, who asked them what they believed.
"I believe in unquestioning loyalty and obedience to my master," said the shepherd.
"Excellent, replied God, "You may sit at my right hand. And you?" he asked the doberman.
"I believe in protecting my master and his family at all costs."
"Excellent, replied God, "You may sit at my left hand. And what about you, cat?"
"I believe you are in my chair."
