Of course all pets go to Heaven - there has never been any doubt in my mind about it.

I'm not Catholic - tho you might think I would be because I'm Italian. Dad was Catholic - Mom wasn't - and he felt us ( we ?) kids should be raised in church but it didn't matter which.

Anyway - I just adore Pope Francis - he appears to be such a happy and social Pope -unlike so many of the "stuffy" ones in the past. Perhaps his love of animals has some bearing there too. All of my pooches since when I had my 3 Lhasas 25+ years ago, have all worn a St Francis medal on their collar. I'm pretty certain that it was instrumental to some degree, in helping them to live such relatively long lives. Of course - Myndi made it to almost 18, Sparky to 14, and Tai who was my girl Lhasa, saw 16, and Scooter (Mr Bad Boy Lhasa), saw 14. And now Wolfy wears one............
