Let me tell you something.
If the soul of a Dog cannot enter the pearly gates, the rest of us are well and truly fucked.

Mark Twain said pretty much the same thing ’bout a hunnert years ago. He said something along the lines of: “If I don’t meet my animals at the pearly gates when my time comes, I’ll elect to go where they are.” My feelings on the matter are the same. I’m looking forward to spending eternity fishing, hunting, camping, spending time with friends and family who’ve preceded me and playing with all the critters I’ve loved and who loved me. I’m really looking forward to having some quality time with my skunk, Blossom. She was a wonder.

Amen.
There is an internet story running around about that. It does seem odd that such loving companions in this world would be denied the next.
God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there. – Billy Graham
The question always comes down to “Do you love God more than your dog.” ;-)
Having said that, when one realizes how much God loves us I fail to see why he would not have our pets in Heaven too.
Many years ago, Rod Serling did a fine “Twilight Zone” piece about a man and his dog at “the gates”. The guy at the gate wouldn’t let the dog in, so the old man said fine. “I’ll go where he goes”. That was not the gates to Heaven, but the gates to Hell. It would be so, if we could not take our wonderful companions with us.
Damn dust in my eyes.
If I get into heaven, if all of the dogs that I’ve loved in my life aren’t waiting there for me, tails a-waggin’, I’m going to be sorely disappointed.
Not sure if I have it right but it was on the order of “Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.”
true dat.

God is love, so it is told. Can love be given and not go back to Him, just buried into the ground? Would God make such sentient and feeling creatures just to have them go back to nothing? The true answer is We Don’t Know, and I’m tired of clergy and those who should know better when they keep insisting that animals are nothing and we are special snowflakes. I’d like to understand this:

The affection and concern pets show counts as love to me. If they’re just doing it to be sycophants sucking up to us so we continue to feed and house them, then why in all of those videos of servicemen, when the pets’ needs were well met by the wife stateside and their lives went on as normal in his absence, do the pets go crazy with joy when Master comes home for the first time in over a year? Puts a lie to both the thought that pets only have short or mid time memory, and that the affection is just an instinctual reaction for self-preservation.
