I want to say one thing about wheather animals have souls, an whether they go to heaven, and thats if God don't let our pets go with us to heaven, then it would be such a dull and unhappy place for me.

Yesterday, I talk to a lady that is very religious, she lost her husband to cancer about two years ago, she said that about 2 or 3 months after her husband died, her beautiful German Shepard died too. She said this dog actually morned himself to death over her husband. He would howl everynight after the death of her husband. He had never done that before, ever! I told her the story of rainbow bridge and she took that to mean that her husband and that dog, and some of the other pets that was so dear to her and her husband were there waiting for her to come so they could all cross the bridge together into heaven. She was very tearful about this.


Her and her husband were unable to have children, these dogs were their children, the only children they ever knew. Now how could anybody tell her that those 'children were not at the bridge waiting with her late husband' for her to cross the bridge with them into heaven?

When your joys here on this earth involve dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles, etc, then how could you not have that joy in heaven too? To me I have to believe they will be there waiting for me.

If you believe there is no hell, then how can you believe there is a heaven? I hope and pray that our pets are in heaven waiting to greet us there. Now that would be heaven for certain to me.
