I do believe so!
God created all things for His pleasure (Rev 4:11 KJV)...
obviously God loves animals as He loves us why else were they created?
Jesus also said that the lion will lay with the lamb (he's talking about in the Kingdom of God)....they're animals!
That's why I believe that animals are in heaven, your dog included!
May the Word of God bring you comfort in your time of lost, in Jesus precious name... A-men!
(seek God's Word, you'll have closure)

Of course he is in doggie heaven sweetheart. Don't you worry about him. Animals are a big part of people's lives and do become a part of the family. I feel bad that you have to have seen him get ran over. We had a dog that got hit by a car and it was very traumatic to experience as a child. I also had to have a cat euthanised because she was suffering and I could not do anything else. Please do not worry about this anymore he is not to worry about he is at rest. Closure takes some time but you will have to move on as there are many things in life that will be similar before it ends. We have to be strong and our hearts are often wounded but they have to toughen at times. Life is a journey and it has it's joys and it's unpleasant parts but it is one that makes the other more valueable. To feel pain is to learn to appreciate when we don't feel pain just as hunger makes us appreciate food.

Hi, sorry for your dog. I'll give my answer according to my knowledge upon Islamic view to those things. First heaven exists. People and animals go to different levels of next life, this means people go two levels and animals just one more (out of this life).
1. Animals reach just judgement day so they can take revenge for that what they have suffered (from some people ore other animal) and they disappear. Why? Because animals have no brain and don't know that exists they have just instincts.
2. People go 2 levels after this life: first is judgment day and second heaven or hell.
So sorry to say but you will see you dog in judgment day and you will answer what have you done with your dog or what have you done to your dog.

When I was younger I had a German shepherd puppy that got really sick, and it broke my heart. One night before going to bed I went into the room where we kept him and he seemed more alert. I went to bed and had a dream that I was running across an open field, and my puppy was running along side me. It felt so real, but then he was gone and even though I was little, I knew God took him "Home" They say the soul is a spirit that goes on forever when we leave this life, I believe that every living thing has a soul, and someday, I will run with my puppy again.

I'm so sorry your dog died hon.
My dog is my best friend. She was with me when I went thru depression after my grandma was murdered. Nobody was with like she was.
People don't understand how much they mean to us, unless they've had a connection like that. I'm so sorry you had to see that.
Here is what you tell youself. Did you give your dog a GOOD home? Was it better than most homes>? Did your dog know he/she was loved? Then you did ..the right thing.
I'm sorry, I'm an atheist so I don't believe in heaven really but if there is one, dogs go there before people do.

I absolutely believe that you will be with your dog in Heaven. He or she is probably at your Heavenly mansion standing guard outside just waiting for you to cross over at the right time.

I'm sure heaven doesn't discriminate between human life or animal life. Wherever your dog is now, I'm sure he is content. Take comfort in knowing that, as part of your family, he had a brilliant life and you made him very happy. He's at peace now, so don't worry.

If Heaven exists, then your dog is there. Your dog has a soul that is forever alive in your heart. Energy doesn't leave. It just changes form. Best of wishes to you.

Aww, I'm sorry. Other people's opinions don't matter, just believe what you believe. So think of him in a better place, it will give you closure. Sorry for your loss, I know how dogs can be just like people.

Isaiah 65:25 - "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
Isaiah 11:6 - "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
Animals are incapable of sinning against God. He has not exposed them with the knowledge of evil. So they will return to him. He loves them like we love our pets.
