Does dogs have souls?

I agree! I'm not going either if I don't get to see my deceased babies! Animals absolutely get to go to heaven. Those who don't believe this have probably never had the opportunity to become so close to an animal that they even care. It's so sad that everyone in the world doesn't get this opportunity!

I was not real happy that the teacher had told him that. I told him that is her belief but that I believe Bear is in heaven. I told him how can she know that he isn't!

This makes ME mad too! Who says that to a kid? Regardless of what kind of school he may go to, you don't ever say that to a child. what, do they discount the tooth fairy, Santa and the Easter bunny as well? That;s cruel!

Animals DO go to heaven...and in my opinion, there is more soul in nature and animals than there is in humans. I think animals and nature in general have more soul...higher soul. I guess it's hard to explain.

Anyone who has ever cried into there ainimals fur after a REALLY bad day, or fallen asleep on a lazy Sunday with their best friend all warm and snuggled up under the covers....anyone who has ever looked into their dogs eyes knows the depth of these creatures.

Dogs do go to heaven, I for one, am a great believer of the rainbow bridge and I don't care if someone tells me to grow up!! Nothing brings me joy like imagining the day that I am reunited with my very best friend, who I have missed so dearly...anyone who has lost an animal knows that dogs go to heaven and wait for their masters...because that is what a dog would do: wait, for as long as it took for you to come for them.

Sorry guys...I'm feeling emotional today, I can't tell if I'm being intense!

This is going to sound like a bad joke but I recall reading an article in Dog World (I think it was Dog World) in which the author asked a priest, a rabbi, and a protestant minister if dogs have souls. The priest and the rabbi said they did and the minister said he thought it was possible but he couldn't say one way or the other.

Don't for get that God spelled backward is dog!

I believe that all animals have souls and will be awaitng us in heaven....

That being said..... WOW, I love being here with my pups that I have now but when you think about it, how many pups throughout the years have you lost? Can you imagine all the joy we are going to have when going to heaven ad being able to be with all our lost pups..... I've lost 3 dogs that I love very much throughout my life and I can't wait to see and play with them again.... My first Lucy (I wonder if she'll still be a little puppy) - My Hunter (mini doxie) I'm sure he won't be paralized anymore - and last but not least my grandmaws little Teka (Pom) I'm sure her heart is doing just fine where she's at now.....

Oh great now I'm crying..... Thanks guys...LOL

I, for one do not believe God creates anything evil, God has no hand in the evils of the world...all of us come into the world innocent..we grow up and by human choice we decide who we will serve as Master. It is our free choice to be good or evil...as far as I know most all world religions like Christian, Jew, Muslin, Buddist agree man is evil by his own hand.

I too don't believe that God did not create evil. I also believe that evil is the work of the devil. In each decision we make there is a angel on one side and the devil on the other (so to speak). We decide which side we choose. I think all animals go to heaven, my godson's guinea pig died yesterday and he was so upset and my best friend told him "If God created it when it dies he will take care of it," and that is something I truly believe.
