It always irritated me…
…that the Twilight Zone episode “The Hunt,” in which a backwoodsman tries to take his dog into heaven, only to be told that dogs aren’t allowed there, and then refuses heaven on account of that, never gives credit to its obvious source: the famous scene in the Mahabharata where Yudhishthira, on being told by Indra that heaven can be his if only he will leave his faithful hound behind (on account of dogs being unclean), ultimately says, “Very well then, Lord Indra. I go—and my hound with me.”
