I mean a dog shits on the lawn, who cleans up after the king?
Do you think only clever animals have souls, or is a soul measured by the animals loving nature?
How do you know if a living thing's got a soul or not?
(Please don't tell me what your bible says, I want an answer from you not some book)

I believe animals have souls. Look in the eyes of your pet, it reveals much.
At my home the dogs are in charge. I wish they would get jobs and help pay a few bills.

Although animals respond favorably to human training, I think that they have instincts that are set....Example, I don't think that a dog can give up certain instincts like food protection and jealousy of other animals. Even though they can be worked with, and you may see an improvement, I think that there is always the potential for them to return to those behaviors.
Unlike humans who have a soul which gives us the ability to look in the mirror and self-evaluate and chose to give up animal-type behaviors that are not to our benefit and keep those behaviors in check.

You don't want me to tell you what the Bible says???
If it wasn't for the Bible, nobody would even know about the soul!
That's the book that brought the word to our attention.
And it says that we don't HAVE a soul, we ARE a soul ....just like animals ARE souls, or living creatures.

Animals have the life force in them so if you want to call it a soul, yes they do have one.

I believe every living sentient creature has a soul.

Who eats steak for dinner and who eats dry food? As for souls I can't tell you. I hope they do. I love mine. Let's face it there is one things we humans can do that dogs can't, sin and offend God.
