Do All Dogs Go to Heaven? The Answer Might Surprise You

Brenda Lee Butner

I find in Isaiah several places that speaks of animals in heaven . It speaks of the wolf and the lamb feed together , the calf and the lion , the leopard and the goat an infant will play near the hole of the cobra ! There is so much it speaks of so therefore I believe that our pets will be there ! They are Gods creation.

Timothy Paul. Forrester

Chaplain Timothy (Tim) Forrester. Yes I do believe pets go to Heaven: Remember Jesus taught that in Heaven the Lion shall lay down by the Lamb: so yes I Believe we'll see our Pets when we get to Heaven.

Thomas P. Davis

Some comments on the preceding comments. Man is not given a soul. Scripture says, "Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." The Hebrew word for soul is "neh'-fesh" H5315 properly a breathing creature, that is, animal or (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead (-ly), desire, X [dis-] contented, X fish, ghost, The NIV says it better " became a living being" The same word is used to describe all living creatures that God created. Gen_1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath H5315 and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Gen_1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creatureH5315 that moveth, Gen_1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creatureH5315 after his kind, Scripture is clear that a soul dies and is not immortal."Eze 18:4  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die."Jos 11:11  And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire Jas 5:20  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins Rev 16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea..  Even  Jesus said "Mat 26:38 Then saith he unto them, my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." Scripture says only God has immortality" 1Ti6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen." Scriptures tells us that " Rom2:7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:1Co15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.1Co15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." we seek it and when we will get it. As far as animals in the NEW heavens, I see nothing in scripture that indicates that. Revelation talks about the four horsemen, but Revelations is a symbolic book. However, scriptures say plenty about animals in the New Earth. Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. Since our heavenly father says "Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things  to them that ask him. I see no reason why our pets will not be there. And the last comment is that Adam was in an eternal state as long as he did not eat from the forbidden tree. He had conditional immortality. The same immortality that we will receive when we once again have access to the tree of life.

Nelson Lee Dawson

When Adam was banished from Heaven so went dog with willingly with all sins washed away Adam was allowed to enter Heaven as was dog and so being all pets with the love for and of their human companions will also by welcomed not including serpents !

Victor Wayne Sweatman

I would like to relate something that happened to me personally, not once but twice, but I feel I need to explain a few things about myself first. I'll try to be brief. My mother was psychic, she could see, and know things others couldn't, and sometimes that made it hard for myself and my siblings, lol. My Granny was a white witch, of course they didn't call it that back then in polite society, she was a 'root woman'. I have always been gifted with clairvoyance, and the ability to channel some deceased people. I worked with several law enforcement agencies to locate homicide victims, not my favorite thing to do, but that brings me to my point. A few years back, a dear friend committed suicide, and there were some questions that the family wanted answered, just to make sure that there was no foul play involved, she had piped exhaust into her car until she passed. I was sent the hose and some cigarette butts and a few other articles to use as a medium. I made contact with her and experienced her death; I felt what she felt and saw what she saw. What follows is what I was allowed to see. At the moment of passing there was a little 'pop' in the middle of my forehead, and a feeling of complete peace. I started slowly floating upwards, through the roof of the car. This happened in a secluded wooded area, and as I rose higher, toward the tops of the pine trees, I noticed that the trees had a golden glow to them, and as I went higher and could see grass, birds, bushes, neighborhoods, people in cars, and everything else that was living, had that same golden glow. The only way I can describe it is to say that it was like everything was lit from the inside. Apparently when I had gone as high as I was supposed to, I snapped out of the picture. I saw the same glow in my mother years before. She was in the hospital with a really bad form of meningitis. The doctors tried to tell us that she was dying, and on the night that all her vitals were failing, I was sitting with her and noticed that she was glowing and continued to glow till morning. I told the family that God was in her and she wasn't going anywhere. And she didn't. In my 75 years on this earth, that's the only two times I've ever seen this light. But as God is my witness, I saw it. How often have you heard that Heaven is a city of GOLD? Streets paved with Gold? Gold has no value in Gods Kingdom. The only Gold I can see in Heaven is life, it is a City Of Life, not riches. Life is life, man woman, child, cats, dogs. All life is sacred, and I cannot, for one second believe that life, even plant life, will be cast aside and wasted. Sorry, I guess I did get a little long winded...

Arthur Norman Klose

I'm right there with you. We have two Pomeranians, both of which are joined to me at the hips, and I don't want to image life on earth or the afterlife without them.

Thomas Christopher Medina

If you hurry and convert to one of the above mentioned Eastern traditions before you die, you will be able to be reunited with your pets. But then again, according to Christian doctrine, you won't be allowed in heaven. So I guess you have to choose, heaven or pets?

Reverend Paula Copp

I just can’t imagine a heaven without my pets!

Michael T Kolb

When God built the ark he had one thing in mind saving the animals nothing humans but the animals so you got to know that God loves him maybe more than he loves people because he started with people as a companion to him and later found that the dogs and cats loved him more and zebras and all the animals loved him more

Darlene Marsh

I have no need of a god that cannot find room in his heavenly kingdom for the pure souls that animals are. Particularly in light of how people treat them at times. In many cases I find more animals than people deserving of “heaven.”

Rev. Dr. Father JJ

so not only have people created this las-vegas-elton-john-liberace-childish-magical-thinking 'heaven' but they've gone ahead and made it animal friendly.

who cleans up the poop? angels? cherubs?

is it black, latino, immigrant, other friendly?

Rev. Daley

You forgot the Na'vi of Pandora. Central to the Na'vi is seeing all aspects of nature, all the biosphere of Pandora, including themselves, as a single connected system, a globally distributed consciousness, known to them as Eywa, the Great Mother, the goddess made up of all living things. They see the rich tapestry of life as a network of energy that flows through all living things, temporarily bringing them individual life. Thus, the Na'vi believe that all living things has a spiritual counterpart that's eventually reabsorbed into and reborn as another part of Eywa.

Michelle Kitz

I've always believed they do go to the afterlife. That their souls continue on. And I can share a story with you.

My husband died at the end of 2022. About a year later, one of my dogs died. My sister and her family were staying with me at that time. During that night, my four-year-old niece sat up suddenly from sleep, looked into the corner and said hello then went back to sleep. Later, she told her parents she was saying hello to her uncle. That was the night my dog died. I believe he was there for her, to welcome her across. He loved animals. So it would be just like him to be there for her.

James Poole

there horse in heaven also birds there doves

Tina Yvette Fucles Smith

I'm humbly grateful to reply that GOD ALMIGHTY CREATOR created animals before he created Adam. So, as a pet parent of various dogs, cats, birds, fish, ferrets, hamsters, etc before I became a Mother of 3 sons who as well as had all types of animals as pets from spiders, snakes, bugs, snails, slugs, to sea monkeys; we learned about the Rainbow Bridge as we had paid funerals for our family's pets from burials and cremations. As the information goes on if the Rainbow Bridge, our pets awaits their in the garden of the Rainbow Bridge being taken care of by God Almighty and St. Francis until their pet parents leave their mortal life span and before the human can enter heaven, they're met wit all of their pets at The Rainbow Bridge's entrance and the pets we have had throughout our mortal life span will walk with us across the Rainbow Bridge into the Kingdom of GOD. Because all living entities that has breath which is the breath of life from GOD has a soul. As a Mother and Grandmother this family traditional belief is a true comfort and peace provider to a child who is grieving and worried about their deceased pet being fed when hungry or cold and sheltered in the afterlife of their pets. And when God's Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven, there will also be animals as the utmost vicious animals will no longer have a vicious urge in the new world. They will be gentle as a newborn babe and humans with all beasts will coexist in harmony as the old world has cometh to pass for all of GOD'S CREATIONS AND HIS CHILDREN WHO WERE CREATED N HIS IMAGE as HIS PLAN beforth the fall of man will finally be done by HIS WILL AS THE CREATOR GOD ALMIGHTY MOST HIGH. Many condolences to all of you who are grieving from a loss of a pet as well as they are our family members and those entities who are family members that have gone from their mortal life span. You are well in my prayers. Bless Be to you all and remember: "This to shall cometh to pass." GOD is always with you and HE knows how you feel inside.

Joe R Day

I have had many beloved pets in my 70 years. When they 'passed on', I always mourned their passing...

Will Rodgers said something like this: "If dogs don't go to heaven, I want to go where they go."

However, this entire conversation hinges on one thing... The belief in an 'afterlife', where Good Souls go after they die, and apparently, our pets too.

It is my belief that when you die? That's it, no haunting or eternity in Bliss/Torment. Yes, I know about the 'energy' in our brains and 'energy cannot be created nor destroyed'. Some believe the tiny spark that runs our biological body qualifies as a Soul. I do not.

The concept of an 'afterlife' was invented by humans, because the idea allowed Religion to flourish and some way to step aside from the reality of the Big Sleep. When someone passes, that's it. There is nothing on the 'other side'...

I have had this conversation before and those who believe? "Oh, you're gonna have a rude awakening when you stand before the Father and are judged for all your transgressions!"

I prefer to believe that our greatest deeds are done while we are alive.

Connie Hilderbrand

I believe animals a a creation of God thus they too will have ever lasting life in heaven right by our sides.

Travis A. Lee

In my belief system, which aligns with the Older Earth Religions and a few Cultures, all Creatures and objects/items have a Soul. I did not really "believe" such a thing, until I Crossed over and Decided to come back. When I came back, either this "gift" was opened due to crossing over or given for the decision to come back, I am able to SEE Souls in all things. I have seen Souls that are small as a newborn, usually in objects/items. When treated with Respect, I have seen that Soul grow to Fulfill its Soul mission and then move on. IF treated with Disrespect, the Soul stays diminished waiting for a chance. Is this not like human Souls? Given Respect, nourishment the Soul Grows and moves into the stages it was meant to accomplish. A Soul given nothing can remain unresolved, diminished, small, unfulfilled. Since my beliefs are closer to the Nature Religions, there is no Heaven, no Hell, we just move On and Out. there are multitudes of MORE than just Heaven and Hell. When it IS my Time for the final Cross Over, I Plan to Move On and Out, exploring what else there is. :D

Lisa Helmick

God created all living things, I would certainly hope to see my pets when I get to heaven, or perhaps we truly are reincarnated. I know losing a pet can be just the same as losing a love one.. when you have had your pet for so many years a human and animals have a certain bond, just like a mother and child sometimes... I just recently lost my daughter , which has been heartbreaking, I also before I lost her lost my aunts dog that I have taken care of since her death four years ago. Not the first pet I've lost, but it certainly hit me harder than losing any other pet.. my thoughts are she reunited with Aunt Betty sitting on her lap watching down on us.. Rev. Lisa

Ari Joseph Bertine

It's interesting that people will bend the rules enough to ignore what pastors and priests tell them because of love for an animal, but they'll cling stubbornly to the most hateful interpretation of religious dogma just so they can judge and despise and abuse other humans.

It very much looks like religion is only ever a guideline and people just make up whatever rule pleases them personally to believe.

Teresa Freeman

When Christ rules here on this earth as planned , the lion will lay down with the lamb

Sandra Lee Joseph

I believe that pets go to heaven. They're created by God to serve humans on earth. I believe that they can become angels in the afterlife.

ronald

I do believe the rainbow bridge exists and feel pets are there in heaven in some form

Kevin Venteicher

i also believe a loved one is waiting for us in heaven animals show unconditional love for us make us a better person prayers for the lost of your loved one

Rev. Donut

It's all in your head.

If you think or want to believe there is an afterlife for animals, then there is. If only in your head.

If all animals go to an Afterlife where do the Tigers stay? The Monkeys? the Buffalo? Do they all just roam around or is there a huge zoo?

John Casillo

FOR EVERY SEASON....THERE IS A REASON

Tom Herman

Since we are taught that God created all things, it doesn't make any sense if all things are not included in the concept of God's creation of heaven. Happiness in the afterlife is whatever we believe it to be.

Teresa Freeman

Prior to our third earth age , during the sixth trumpet , only a third of man kind , earth , and animals in the sea are destroyed , so therefore there is a place for animals in the third earth age which should be our focus, God is Love, He just wanted a family to reside with ,but no actual bible validity and religions are kan made, its all about thr bloodline back to Seth , and Adam was commanded to oversee the animals ,and at that particular time , Adam was in an eternal state prior to sin , common sense

Lydia Colette Alexander

Where are my Bible folks? Are we remembering this nugget? "Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?" is Ecclesiastes 3:21. I take heart that I will see my beloved horse and my dogs in Heaven and on time even had a dream that my little hamster, my first indoor pet, who used to sit on my should while I would study or watch TV, was sitting in the palm of Jesus and looking up at him. I couldn't see his face, but I could she the piercing in the palm that was holding her and I knew it was from the nails. So take heart! Nothing is impossible with the Lord!

Alejandro Medina de Wit

Sure, not only your cat, but also pigs and cows so you can continue slaughtering them and eating them, and also, if you want, a bunch of Mexicans to do dirty work for you, like cleaning your heavenly house, wash your car and your clothes for you

John Robert Peters

All things are from God and all things are God, of the substance and within the substance of the One. To say that some creatures of things are soulless is ignorance. We are all of the Light and we all are within the Light. In that we are all united with the Light. Yes, pets share a bond with us and will remain with us within the One for eternity. Forms change but in the timeless Light the form is not relevant. The Love is all that remains and binds us together.

Ron Sonnichsen

"Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds; Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgements like the Great Deep; You save humans and animals alike, O LORD." (Psalm 36: 5-6).

David Sodey

The comfort I experience after losing my dogs is that they are waiting patiently at the Pearly Gates for me to arrive, it gives me great solace.

Ronald Higgins

If God didn’t love animals then why did He have Noah save them from the flood?

Earl Archer

We all have an opinion but scripture doesn’t say anything about animals going to heaven but I don’t believe that God created animals for animal sake they are mentioned all throughout the Bible most prominently in Genesis and Revelations so officially God does have a place for pets and creatures of every kind his heavenly kingdom amen! Rev Earl

Mrknowitall

Every living creature has soul life, it is what animates us. What separates man is the ability to have Spirit also if he/she becomes Born Again ( Romans 10:9 ) Whatever soul life is departs with every single creature at its last breath, the bible clearly states from Genesis to Revelation that the dead are dead in gravedom awaiting one of 3 resurrections. God clearly states he will remember every person and resurrect every person exactly and only those who accepted Jesus Christ as their savior will receive ever lasting life, all others will die a second death. No animals at all will be resurrected, God would have said so and we can know by our reasoning.

Listen, I have a dog, I love her dearly, I would love her for eternity especially if she could really talk but the fact is she will not be resurrected, I am so thankful for her love and companionship now, it is what it is ! Having said that there is no comparison to the love I have for my children, there just isn't.

God made the possibility of a 3 part man, Body-Soul and if you become Born Again, Spirit. Animals have body and soul life only. The Truth shall set you free !

Walter J. Holbrook

All creatures great and small have a spiritual essence. Why would there not be a place in heaven

Jayne Marilyn Francis

my first thought about this is the covenant God made with "every living thing" and with Noah. it wasn't merely a promise not to flood the Earth again. in this covenant even animals had responsibility. though animals can't speak as we do, they have ways to communicate. next, i thought, "what is a soul if not the persona or character of a life form?" (as opposed to the essential life force -- the "spirit") then i thought about the possibility of transmigration of spirit and soul until finally graduating to a human existence. though none of us knows for sure, it's difficult for me to assume that any part of God's Mandate for Existence is wasteful or without the ability to endure in some form. finally, what really is "heaven" if not meaningful existence within God's essentialness? and, why would any element of God's Will be without enduring relevance, including that common ethereal essence of animation within any life form? A so-called "Old Testament" Prophet tells us that nothing exists apart from God. if that is true anyone and anything is but a Divine Phantasm of Essential God, differing only in existential purpose or ability.

Steven Ferrell

From what I have read in the Bible, I don’t think our pets will be in glory with us, however I am by no means an expert and may he pleasantly surprise when I go to our final destination.

Spydr Mac

My cats and dogs have always felt more evolved than me. After sitting here crying as I read all these stories and posts I'm just more convinced that there will be another round for us.

The universe always sends me lessons over and over until I truly understand them. Sending my beloved fur babies has been a lesson in love. I'm certain I have more to learn.

Kelly McDowell

Could be “dogs” in reference to humans who behave as wild, base, uncouth, low-life’s ?

James Riggle-Johnson

I have had many pets over the years, and each has had their own personality. I don’t know how anyone look into the eyes of a dog or cat and not see a soul in there.

Only man would find it necessary to judge what creatures have a soul and who does not. Of course, they’ve always judged who will go to heaven and who does not when it says in their bible that God will be the judge of that. I feel sorry for this woman and wonder why her friend would say something like as she was clearly grieving. How Christian of her.

Lionheart

Perhaps there is a Dog God that they were made in its image, and a Cat God, and a Snake God, and a Monkey God, and an Ant God, all made in their gods images.

Plants/Vegetation are all live and will die if not fed, just like the animal and insect kingdoms, so perhaps there’s a Tree God and perhaps they have souls too.

Yes, these are crazy statements, but are they any more crazy than saying mankind is made in the image of a god, just because we have more intelligence than other species.

If there is another place we all go to after mortal death I don’t see the need for us to eat or drink, because there won’t be death if we don’t. The only reason we eat and drink is to keep us alive so presumably we won’t need teeth, or even a stomach/GI tract/bowls etc....right? I wonder if God has teeth, and if so…..why?

These are just some things to mull over as you contemplate this topic. 😎

Rebecca L Tice

I live in a retirement community in Arizona. So people die here more often than in other communities. It's just that we're older.

I've noticed, though, that when one of the humans in my community has died, a dog dies either right before or right after. It has not been the person's dog... someone else's dog.

Right before my friend AJ died, Kathy's dog Jenny died. Right before my neighbor Bob passed away, my friend's dog Louie died.

I am beginning to think there is a pattern... and some dogs somehow earn the right to escort heaven-bound humans to their "forever" homes.

I know it's not Biblical. I'm just seeing a pattern.

Just saying...

Nicholas J Page

Of course all of God's creatures go to Rainbow 🌈 Bridge and all animals have souls otherwise I say prove it R.B Has open fields for animals to run around they are out of pain and suffering plenty of food and water and reunite with their human parents.

Robert Gagnon

I would like to believe the afterlife is more like What Dreams May come. He found his dog in that story, but he was also told how it was his afterlife as he would like to see it. Go back a few thousand years and people believed their slaves traveled to the beyond to serve them in their afterlife. it would be fair to assume pets would have other interests that do not include their human masters or demands/commands.

Rev. Elizabeth

As far as I’m concerned our pets do have a place in heaven and they are waiting for us. I cannot love the animals the way I do and the way they love me and believe that it ends like that. I saw a deer walking along in my yard and just fall down and he died. He was old, it was his time. I saw the spirit of that deer leave the body and walk off. So I know that animals have souls and they have their place in heaven like we have our place. When we live with Jesus there will still be animals and pets. Yes, animals have souls. I witnessed that. I will never forget it.

About me…I was raised as a Catholic and kept that relationship until I was hurt by the Catholic Church more than once. I couldn’t go back to a place where I didn’t feel love. In fact I grew up afraid of God. The Priests and Nuns scared me of him. I still felt the pull though. I’ve been wanting to work for God since I was 6yrs old and yet I was afraid. I knew I had to so he wouldn’t be mad at me. I was in my early 30s and so confused by my feelings and what was being said to me by the Catholic religion. I was invited to attend the Methodist Church in town and I had a lovely talk with the Pastor. I knew I was home. I loved the service, the people were friendly and welcoming. I loved that they taught through the Bible and it was home. I knew I was in the right place. I then pursued being a Methodist Minister too. I converted to a Methodist. One of the hurtful things that was done to me when I was 12 was that I was denied my confirmation because the Bishop had too many parishes to go to so he chose a bunch of churches he wasn’t going to. Mine was one of them. I was a honor student and was to have a sit down with the bishop. I was the top of my class. I was going to be a Nun too and that was my first hurt of many to come. God knew this so He made sure I didn’t get that step in my life so I could convert to Methodist and become a minister myself.

That is my background so you can get an idea why I believe that animals have souls. I saw one.

I look forward to reading your stories. God Bless you all 🙏🏼

Matthew Mastrogiovanni

Revelation 22:15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Clay Serenbetz

Who knows? But I enjoyed reading everyone's views on this subject. Frankly, if there is an afterlife than I'd want to share it with my dogs, who lifted me up so often. In my view, Heaven should include animals, that you loved, to live-up to its hype.

Colleen McAllister

I have no answer or Scripture to back me up but I do believe that there will be animals in the afterlife. I have loved several dogs and cats in my life but my last dog was special. He went to church with us every Sunday and laid at my husband's feet during the service. My husband died unexpectedly yet visits me in dreams as do several others who have passed. As my poor Shadow grew weaker due to age we grew closer. He finally passed and a few days later I dreamed that my husband came to me more joyfully than I'd ever seen him. He gestured behind him - and there was my dear Shadow bounding toward me full of life and smiling.

Do all dogs go to heaven? No idea but I believe that my last one did.

Donna May Evans

Definitely Yes. We cross the same Rainbow Bridge as the Animals cross.!

Joe Stutler

Dogs go to the same place as humans go postmortem. Cats, OTOH .....

Melinda Fulk

There is a Twilight Zone episode where a man and his dog are killed - I don't remember how - and the episode focuses on the two of them making their way down a path in the woods, stopping at the first gate they come to. There's another man there welcoming our recently deceased fellow into heaven, but he tells him that the dog can't come along. (The dog doesn't like the gatekeeper either.) The man says that he'll just pass by and continue on then while the gatekeeper is trying to talk him into entering. The man stands firm.

As the due continues down the path, they eventually came to a bigger, nicer gate where both are welcomed. The gatekeeper there, upon hearing of the earlier gate, asks the man why he decided to continue on. The man said that if his dog was welcomed, then it wasn't a place he wanted to be. Of course, the first gate was Hell and the gatekeeper was the Devil. The second gate was Heaven.

John T. Watson

All living creatures have a soul. Without the soul they would not be alive. Scripture tells us that when Jesus Christ returns to set up His Kingdom here on earth that He and His army will be riding white horses dressed in white. Horses and dogs are very good companions here on earth so I believe there will be many animals in Heaven since there must be horses there. Also if there were not other animals there then why would the lion lie down with the lamb and the beast from the wild be led by a little child? In Heaven there are no meat eating animals. All are plant eaters.

Stephanie A Willey

Heaven is where all the dogs you ever knew will come to greet you.

Dawn

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. Will Rogers <—- I’m with him & I’ll add ..cats , cows, chickens, opossums, foxes, whales, crows…..

Dr. Darryl G Dykes

It is simple God placed animals on.earth to serve us even if for a short time. Some are beast of burden or also know working animals. Some are domesticated to give us pleasure in their presence. Animals do not.have a mortal soul therfore they will neither suffer damnation or heavenly awards.

Reverend Paula Copp

We are all children of the same universe; animals, plants and people all live together on this rock called Earth. As a witch, I believe that all of the deities’ creations have souls. I believe that our pets will find us again.

Rev. Dr. Father JJ

so pets are restricted from going to a make-believe place when they die? dopo morte non c'e' niente

Russel A. Kester

I can't imagine it being heaven without our loved ones which includes pets. I also see no reason to not believe that they continue to develop and evolve just as humans do. Maybe we all started in just such a manor. At least that thought has a glimmer of hope to explain furries; LOL. All sentient beings have eternal souls. Whether they are different in kind or degree, I don't know. But God loves them and most have souls purer than many humans. To heaven they go.
