Might sound like a stupid question, but do you think dogs go to heaven?

[Riptide]

This probably sounds like a pretty dumb question (especially for a 13 year old to ask)...but we had to put my dog Carly to sleep and I really miss her. Do you think dogs go to heaven? I don't really know what to think. I don't think they have souls, but I also dont think they'll go to hell, but I -hope- they don't just sit there and rot...I don't know...what do you all think?

I think they go to heaven.

I also think they go to heaven. It comforts me to know that dogs I have lost are watching down on me.

Animals loved and cherished as pets, and animals that have made an impact on someone's life in some way or another, do go to heaven and they will be waiting there at the Pearly gates for you to arrive.

honey, of course dogs are in heaven. i cannot believe for one second that god would create something as wonderful as a dog, and not have it in paradise as well as here on earth. i know my sweet dog duke is there, likely drinking from the gravy river. i am sorry that you've lost Carly, can you tell us a little bit about her?

[K9soul]

I believe dogs do have souls and Heaven wouldn't be Heaven for me if no dogs were there.

I believe all animals (not including humans!) cease to exist after death. It's not "them" rotting, just the body. They don't go to heaven, or to hell. They're just gone.

I do also believe that heaven is absolutely perfect, and that if animals have to be in heaven to make people happy, they'll be there.
