In the ancient Sanskrit epic ‘Mahabharata,’ the five Pandavas on their way to heaven were accompanied by a dog. The five Pandavas with their wife Draupadi and brothers climbed the Himalayas; all of them except Yudhishthira and his dog perished along the way. Yudhishthira refused to enter heaven without his dog and said that he will go back to the Earth. The dog disappeared and it was replaced by Yama, the god of death.
