Something I should probably know, but alas I dont. Had to put my Buddy down on Saturday and I'd really like to think I get to see him again someday, if I'm lucky. I miss him.

Unfortunately, there's nothing mentioned regarding our dear pets, but think about it this way: they are not suffering anymore!

The first pet in the bible was the dog of Tobias who accompanied young tobias to his far off adventure.
As for pets going to heaven..... by nature, no as they have no spiritual soul. BUT, in heaven the symbolism is of lion with the lamb, wolf next to the infant on God's holy mountain and all are tame, so I think all things are possible with God and since there are no tears or sorrow, it would follow that it's entirely likely our cherished pets will be there by grace of God. Certainly is no metaphysical reason to believe in the resurrection but not believe animals with that particular set of memories and personality might not also be raised for our enjoyment. |

I always think of it this way. In the Garden of Eden there were animals living with Adam and Eve in the first paradise. Why would God not include them in that what is yet to come?
Also, God did not only save humans on the Ark. He saved animals as well. Hopefully one day we will all find the answer to that question and many more. First, we have to make sure that we get there!

they are God's creations and he knows when sparrow falls from the tree, so it only makes sense that our pets would be there.
there is no greater example here on earth of Christ's love for us then the dog. Both God and dog would never leave you or forsake you. sorry for your loss, tell us about your friend.

While many versus hint that maybe they do, the verse that says anything concrete is that only God knows for sure. Ecclesiastes 3:21

Not the Bible, but the Catholic catechism explains that as God creatures, their mere existence glorifies God; therefore, we ought to treat them kindly. However, we must be careful not to put them above the dignity of other humans (e.g.: spend exorbitant amounts of money and time on an animal, when there are people suffering who would benefit from your time or money).
Sorry for your loss, OP. |
