I've never been a dog person, but I've actually visited the Dog Chapel twice. (Please don't tell my cat, Spike.) Each time, I've been impressed not only by the uniquely detailed chapel built by artist Stephen Huneck but by the emotion and devotion that dogs evoke in so many people who have chosen to share their lives with a furry friend like Atlas, Smitty, Jasper or Punkie.

Why did Stephen Huneck build the Dog Chapel? And how can you honor the canine companions who have touched your heart? Join me on this virtual photo tour of Stephen Huneck's Dog Chapel for answers and a preview of this heavenly place for dogs and their people.
