Your an animal lover aren't you?I am also.
I don't know how to answer your question but what
you to know I've ask the same question.
You will receive many different answers no dought
but I chose many years ago that it is one of
those questions the Lord Himself will answer one
of these days.
I will check this post later and see what other members have to say.
love,Susan

Hello! This is indeed an interesting question! As Susan has said in her comment, we do not know for certain the answer to this, but I believe that our Lord, the lover of our life, has considered the desires of our hearts here on earth, as He has provided us with many good things that bring us happiness.
I personally believe that because he is a God of that which is love, He shall allow us to be reunited with our pets in Heaven; as our bodies will be without blemish, we shall know not of pain, or suffering, and shall only know that which is good. I am holding onto the belief that I shall be with my beloved pets that have passed on to join with me again! He loves all of His creations! There are so many astounding stories of the bonding of pets with their owners, that I do not believe that they posess only intuition; that it goes much beyond that! Look at the story of the dog that was saved from a fire, and went to the fireman with a display of affection that is unforgettable, or the video that shows Christian The Lion being reunited with its guardians who had released him back into the wilds! These stories are amazing testimony that animals don't just have automatic sensors......they really feel emotions of love and loyalty!
I shall also check back for responses to this question.
A grand lover of dogs,
Sheila

Well, i'd love to say "yes absolutly with out a doubt" but i don't have that authority...thost only on God. However, something to think about: In Genisis 1:29-31 After God creates man, he gives him one job only...to take care of the animals. Some bibles may say "rule over" some say "take care of" but that basic idea is that God created man to be in charge of taking care of animals. So clearly if we were told to look after animals in God's original plan...obviously they must have an important role in the larger sceme of things. Also, i have trouble rapping my mind around the idea that our all loving God would bring something into existance and then not want to spend eternity with it. Thats just my opinion.

I've mulled this over in my head so many times as well. I'm not sure what the answer is though. I wish the answer were as clear and concise as so many other answers we seek.

I too find the question interesting. But then I go to if God allows kittens and dogs, does he also allow goats, elephants, zebras, kangaroos, and all of the animals into heaven? I for one will look indeed when I get there to see the answer to his most unanswerable question while upon the earth. LOL

Well the bible says in Revelation that he's coming on a white horse,I would say that is an animal.

I believe God will allow animals in heaven.He created them and they cannot be accountable for their actions.They have no soul,so therefore, I believe they go to heaven when they die. God put them on this earth for a reason.I am glad I am one of the people who loves to take care of animals.I have a black cat with a white spot on his chest named KitKat.I have a half sheltie and half pomeranian and she is brown dog named Penelope Susannah.We call her Penny Sue for short.They both were my parents animals before they moved in to senior living and could only have one animal.My momma took her cat but she had to put him to sleep about 4 months ago.He was the most beautiful cat I have ever seen.His name was cuddles because he cuddled up around my mother's neck all 13 of his years.Penny is 7 years old and KitKat is 12 years old.As you can read,I love animals.My parents,husband,and friends tell me they have never seen someone who loves animals more then me.I thought I would comment on my own discussion.We have had(Daddy,Momma,&me) other animals in the past.God bless you for commenting on both of my discussions.Cheri R.
