A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.
At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" The man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" The traveler asked.
"I'm sorry; sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road which led through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" He called to the reader. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there" The man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."
"How about my friend here?" The traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree waiting for them.
"What do you call this place?" The traveler asked.
"This is heaven," was the answer.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the Gold Street and pearly gates? Nope.
That's hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No. I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the folks who'll leave their best friends behind."

How can a person ever know...I don't think it is discussed in the Bible...anyone that gives you the answer that "no animals don't go to Heaven" is pretending he understands the Bible. By saying animals have no souls, it gives people tyhe right to be cruel and violate them...because it then would not matter....just as stating that the Earth is doomed, so we don't have to take care of it argument...this also goes back to the argument that Man is not an animal....what are we intelligent plants?

With a scientific answer energy cannot be destroyed only transferred, and i think that the energy inside of us is our soul. Considering that all life is made up of energy i do think all living things will one day share the same space known as Heaven, and God himself is the ultimate energy source that created all, that we will all one day return too.

"look at the birds of the air, they sew not neither do they spin. Yet your heavenly father takes care of them"
I'll bet there are animals in heaven. I'll bet they can talk, too. I can't wait to have good conversations with mine.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavens their is only spirit bodies. But Jesus said, the meek will inherit the earth and they will live on the earth. What would life be on this earth without all the animals.
