| Do Dogs go to Heaven? I've noticed many of you are Christians and I just have to ask you...do you know if dogs go to heaven? I've searched through the bible on many occasions and just can't find any evidence that our pets go to heaven. My Chewy just turned 14 yesterday - so he's getting up in age and on Thanksgiving we had to take him to the hospital and found out he has kidney disease (in addition to periodontal disease). He's doing well now and you'd never know he had these diseases, but I feel like this is God's way of preparing me for the inevitable....afterall, he's been my baby and buddy for his whole life! I just don't know if I'll be able to handle it when it does happen. I just need to know that he'll go to heaven and I'll be able to see him again. I appreciate your insights... |

| I don't know the answer to your question, and I don't believe anyone really knows the answer. My Dad and I had this discussion on several occassions, and I always said it wouldn't be heaven to me if they didn't, but Daddy always said that Heaven is a happy place where we wouldn't remember the sad things we face on earth. He also said that he didn't think we would remember each other (as daughter, brother, Mother or Daddy)...I always said that it would make me unhappy not to recognise my loved ones. Especially now, I lost my Dad 5 years ago and I grieve for him every day. I miss him more than anyone will ever know. |

| I believe they do go to heaven. God does say everything you need will be given to you when you go to heaven, and I need my babies, so I'm sure they'll be there.

| Jody - Thanks for your reply... Jody: I too lost my dad (Aug 2006) and my mom (Dec 2005) and the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I'll see them again in Heaven. I believe that we'll recognize/know loved ones up there - the bible says so. However, it does say that we will no longer be "married" in heaven. (i.e., my husband Brad will be simply "another loved one" in heaven and not my "spouse"). That's how I understand it. I too miss my father sooo much - I was "Daddy's girl" and I'm like a carbon copy of him! I know how much it hurts but I also know we'll see them again thanks to Jesus! I just have to know that my Chewbud will go to though! |

| I truly believe that ,yes ,we will see and identify our loved ones. How many times have you heard seeing the light and a loved one waiting for someone? There are special masses at times to bless the animals. If God did not allow them in heaven he would not want them blessed. To answer your question, IMO, yes you will once again see your loved ones and your beloved pets. |

| I'm sure they do. I can't wait to see my Cindy, Candy and Chicco again, and it makes me feel good to know that they will be there to meet Coco and Coffee when their time comes.

| Very well said, and Carol also. I truly believe that we will see them again, along with all our other loved ones.

| I believe that souls are pure love and do not have form. All souls go to heaven and we will surely recognize and connect with the souls we have loved in our lifetime here on earth. |

| I have no evidence to give you ..... but then, except for a book that says so, I have no evidence to give you that there is a GOD either. But, I know there is.....I have FAITH that there is. I have FAITH that my parents, brother and all of my little fur-babies that I have lost in my 55 years will be there. I have more people on the other side, then I have with me now. My children ask me how I know this and can I prove it. Nope...I cant...but I have FAITH...and when you have FAITH.....you have everything. Just reach deep down and find yours....then you will know that THEY WILL BE THERE. Wishing you peace, Kathy |
