Sweet C’s “Good Dogs Go to Heaven” is a New Orleans jazz tribute to man’s best friend, delivered with warmth, swing, and a generous helping of soul. Inspired by the loss of her beloved Yellow Lab, Sweet C channels her grief and love into a charming, toe-tapping tune that feels both personal and universally comforting.

With a lilting rhythm and classic brass flourishes, the song instantly transports you to a sun-drenched French Quarter street corner. The duet vocals, male and female, carry a tender dynamic, trading lines with affection and sincerity. There’s a sense of shared mourning, yes, but also celebration: this is not a dirge, but a joyful send-off to a loyal companion.
The lyrics are simple yet powerful, knitting vivid memories with gentle humor and wisdom. Lines like “It didn’t cost much to make you happy, it didn’t take much at all” and “You were good your whole life, never cost me any strife” are likely to hit home for any dog lover. And when the refrain comes “Good dogs go to heaven, I’m so sure that they do” it lands like a warm hug.
