Romans 8: 18-23 talks about the future glory that awaits us. Verse 22: "For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants...await this great event!" For years, I've believed dogs go to Heaven. And personally, I want to go to the dogs, lol...

P.S. I heard that, what you're talking about, on the news this morning. I was happy to hear the Pope say what he did. Naysayers say, "Well dogs don't have souls." Well now tell me. How on earth does anyone other than God, know whether dogs have souls....
