Several hours ago the episode named, The Hunt, was broadcast. It
featured one of my favorite character actors, Arthur Hunnicut, who
seems to say "hebben" rather than "heaven" during the story.
Synopsis from -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29
Hyder Simpson lives with his wife and his hound-dog Rip in the
backwoods. Mrs. Simpson does not like having the dog indoors, but Rip
saved Hyder's life once, and Hyder won't be parted from him. Mrs.
Simpson has seen some bad omens recently, and warns Hyder not to go
raccoon hunting that night. When Rip dives into a pond after a raccoon,
Hyder jumps in after him, but only the raccoon comes up out of the
water. Next morning, Hyder and Rip wake up next to the pond. When they
return home, Hyder finds that neither his wife, the preacher, nor the
neighbors can hear him or see him � they seem to think that he and Rip
are dead.
Walking along the road, he encounters a fence he doesn't recognize, and
decides to follow it. Presently, both come to a gate. The gatekeeper
explains that he is Saint Peter and that Simpson can enter the Elysian
Fields, but he is disheartened to hear that there is no raccoon hunting
in heaven, nor is there any of his other usual pleasures. When he is
told that Rip can't enter and will be taken elsewhere, he angrily goes
on down the "Eternity Road" rather than enter the gate without his
beloved dog, figuring that "Any place that's too high-falootin' for Rip
is too fancy for me." Later, after stopping to rest at a log, Simpson
and Rip are met by a young angel whose job is to find and bring them to
Heaven.
Simpson tells the angel about his experience at the first gate,
commenting "Son, that'd be a Helluva place without Rip!". The angel
replies "Mr. Simpson, you ain't far wrong - that IS Hell! Heaven's up
yonder apiece", pointing up Eternity Road. When asked by Simpson why the
gatekeeper at the gate to Hell wouldn't let him bring Rip inside with
him, the angel explains that the reason Rip was not allowed in was
because the dog would have been able to smell the brimstone and alerted
Simpson that something was wrong. The angel goes on to say, "You see Mr.
Simpson, a man, well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open.
But even the Devil can't fool a dog!"
The angel also tells Hyder that there will be a raccoon hunt in Heaven
that night, "right after the square dance," and assures him that his
wife, who will be coming shortly, will not have any trouble with the
Devil up the way.
The story resembles a tale in the Mahabharata known as Yudhisthira's
final test. Located in the 18th parva, Yudhisthira refuses to go into
heaven unless he can take his dog. Thus proving his loyalty, he passes
the final test for heaven and the dog transforms into Dharma, his father.

died from tongue cancer (most likely from chewing tobacco around
1980.)
