Like humorist Will Rogers once said(paraphrased here), "If dogs don't go to heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they go!". And if our dogs are there waiting for us, when my time comes, there is going to be one helluva pack accumulated! I reckon them angels assigned to taking care of them till my time comes might be gittin' purty fed up about now, and may just see what they can do to speed up my arrival date somewhat......A.

I've a...Really a lovely, powerful little poem!<br /><br />I've always liked the quote on this issue from Billy Graham, of all people: "I think God will have prepared everything for our perfect happiness. If it takes my dog being there [in Heaven], I believe he'll be there."<br /><br />I don't pretend to any deep eschatological understanding here, and I won't belabor the issue to a general audience, but for what it's worth I think the question is much less problematic from an Eastern Orthodox perspective. The Orthodox view of salvation isn't about any gnostic, spiritualized heaven that only a rational soul can enter. It's about the eventual renewal of all creation, and that encompasses dogs. "For Thou hast no desire, O Master, to destroy the work of Thy hands....."
