Welp consider for a moment not all people we love will make it into heaven just because we want them. Lately i feel like its best not to think about Heaven too much and just take everything one day at a time.
April Xo Dogs don’t condemn you and are your biggest fan. When I see dogs and their unconditional love for their humans, I see God and his love for us. Dogs (and all pets really) love you no matter what, like God himself 😉
Unconditional love is what you give your dog, your dog's love is extremely conditional. I did dog fostering for a bit of time, dogs do not have unconditional love, you may though.
When I was about 7, the dog my family had owned since before I was born, died. I asked our Priest if dogs went to Heaven. The Priest took me aside and knelt down to be on my level and said in a low voice (as if to say this is just between you and me) "would it even BE Heaven if animals weren't there?" I answered NO!. The Priest replied, "There's your answer". I will never forget that.
I just lost my cat of 18 years, and it was hard. A friend told me something that made it all come together for me. Pet's give us unconditional love like what the Lord gives us. This made me realize that I don't want to loose God's unconditional love. 🙏 more.
Since God's love is unconditional, you will never loose it. I agree with you about the love of a pet--it's unconditional and complete. Maybe God gave them to us as a reminder about His unconditional love.
Pure love,no strings attached,no ulterior motives,just love. Speaking on dogs,they can sense things that we cannot, sensing sometimes the spiritual realm,earthquakes about to happen, seizures etc.
Quick story on my dog; before he passed: Years ago I was at a dark place where I felt God wasn't answering my prays. I was in deep depression because of family issues. I took my dog out, and he kept pulling me to a different direction he never walked before. He's never done that in the many years I had him. So this time I followed him. He later lead me to a church I've never notice before in my area. It was well hidden. My dog walked right in front of the bulletin board and looked at me. As almost as he was saying "God does care." I began going to this church and it saved my life. That's when I began to be closer to God. (That's just many reasons why I personally believe they go to heaven.) God sends them to us for a reason. I hope everyone has the joy of raising a pet and bonding with them someday.
Joeyblondewolf2 AMAZING GOD DOES USE ANIMALS BECAUSE WE CAN BE SO SMART OR SO DUMB .REMEMBER IN THE BIBLE HE USED THE DONKEY HE SAID YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY IDIOT LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I've learned from personal experience that in our darkest times, when we feel all hope is lost and asking God for help, many times we are not answered directly as we know it. God will send us a sign or message answering you, telling you what needs to be done and not to despair. Things will work out, it may be hard but when asking for help, sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see the answer even though it may not be the answer you were looking for.
About 6 years ago I was extremely depressed. Feeling down. I decided to take a drive and loaded up my dog Molly in the car as a traveling companion. As I was driving I began to cry. I prayed to God to ask if He was there listening to my prayers, if He would help me. I asked if my mom and dad were there with God and if they would pray for me. I asked for a sign that God heard my prayers. I decided on the road I would visit the cemetery and my parents headstone, and I would stop and give them a prayer. After about a 2 hour drive, I pulled in to the cemetery and parked about 10 feet away from the headstone. As I opened the door to let Molly out to use the bathroom, she, instead of going right to the tree I parked next to, jumped out, ran behind my car and went right to my parents headstone- stood in front of it, and began wagging her tail. Molly had never been there before! God heard my prayers. God is real. He appeared to me through my loving pet. Therefore I know Molly will be there for me when I pass. When I say goodbye to her in a few days, after 17 years of being together, I will be comforted in knowing she will be waiting for me. Thank you God.
Our pets are better than people and God gave them to us for a reason. If we are worthy to enter heaven where ever it is our pet will be there. I’m surprised this priest doesn’t really agree. June 6, 2023
@@marilynferro9546 i believe our pets will be there. Priests believe they have NO SOULS therefore no heaven. A family member of mine & i had an argument about this. I taught my children GOD made all things therefore he has a place for all his creatures. God is all loving & has a place for all his creature large & small.
This is so moving! I think my dog was a gift from God or Jesus! I adopted her right after our other little dog passed, and my whole family loves her so much. She brought us out of our grieving, and she is just the most loving dog I ever did know! I know there is a place in heaven for dogs, because this one is our guardian Angel!
Dude! That definitely was God working his magic! I was an atheist for so long then God went out of His way, seemingly, to prove His real love and beautiful power. The blessings have been countless and many less-than-subtle! If I were to journal my experiences and someone, even reasonably open-minded read it, they'd think I'm either crazy or authoring a fantastic story! God doesn't stop at one, any time I need a spiritual boost, there He is. Instead of reflecting at that awesome situation as "that one time..." you just might notice it was the first time you realized such a thing, and it could be the beginning of a whole new relationship with God!! I've also noticed in this journey how many times He obviously finessed a thing or two for my sake in past occasions, and how many doors have been opened for me even if I never creatures l crossed the threshold. Thanks G!! And thanks for sharing your experience sir!
When my dog I served with in Iraq passed away my mom said something very profound. She said God does not waste his energy on all things he has created. We will see them again.
Thank you and your fur baby for ya'lls service in Iraq. That's very beautiful what your mom said to you.I don't love anything more than I love God,and God knows our heart. I do believe our pets have their own little souls and we will be with them in heaven🙏❤️
I lost my husband of 31 years and my dear little dog of 13 years. They passed very close together. I can't stop grieving for both of them. The only thing that comforts me is to think they could be together and my hubby is taking care of our dog.
Oh, Candace... I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine how terribly you must be grieving. To suffer two tremendously heartwrenching losses in such a short amount of time is unimaginable - and my heart sincerely goes out to you. Your husband and your dog are most certainly together in Heaven, and there will come a day where the three of you will be reunited again. It will be a day so glorious that it isn't even possible for you to comprehend just how glorious it will be until that day comes. Until then, I pray that God gives you the necessary comfort, peace, and understanding so that you can live, enjoy, and truly embrace the rest of the years that you have left here on earth. It's important to live your life in such a way that honors the beautiful life that the three of you shared together before they passed on. Sadly, those who suffer these types of losses end up feeling a sense of guilt trying to live again, but what they don't understand is that living a beautiful and meaningful life is the most tremendous gift that they could possibly give to those they've loved and are waiting for them in Heaven. Take good care of yourself, Candace - I'll be praying for you.
@@KelleyBroussardMackaig thank you. What a comforting words for someone who just lost a dear pet. Lost my sweetest Cara (Chihuahua) last night and it pained me so much. I'm praying and hoping we will be united in heaven (praying harder) when my time comes to leave this Earth. I was devastated seeing her suffer for 3 days and died just before my eyes 😢😢I love you Cara and missed you so much!!
@@focamoura Absolutely! Why would God leave any of his beloved creatures out of HEaven? The answer: HE WON'T. Those who would DARE suggest that God would keep his amazing creatures out of Heaven are heretics. Because the only alternative is that they would be abandoned to the Earth, to the demon world. It makes absolutely NO SENSE that God would allow that. So you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! God Bless!
Annie could you please tell me what book I could buy to learn about St. Francis' assurances that pets are in heaven? I am going right now through an extreme grief since my cat of 14.5 crossed over. The depression, anxiety and PTSD are making it difficult for me to function. She had serious illnesses and went into a respiratory failure and I rushed her to the vet and let her go. My world revolved around her and my life is not worth living without my precious little girl. Thank you.
@@violettaw215 Your cat is is heaven. Do not worry. They are innocent and have a special place in God's heart. There are many who have died and come back after visits to heaven. You can watch this TH-cam with this Title: "Animals in Heaven - (Do Pets Go To Heaven?) NDE Stories". NDE is "Near Death Experience". Hope that will comfort you.
I definitely believe there are animals in heaven. When God created the garden of Eden, in all of its perfection, there were animals so obviously God is an animal lover.
@@nanabarker8140 Revelation 19:11-15 _Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war justly. His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He wore a robe dyed with blood, and his name was called the Word of God. Heaven’s armies, wearing fine linen that was white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword that he will use to strike down the nations. He is the one who will rule them with an iron rod. And he is the one who will trample the winepress of the Almighty God’s passionate anger._
I lost my little dog yesterday. She was like a member of my family, and she was more human than a lot of humans I know. I really hope that I’ll get to see her again.
I just feel like my dog deserves going to heaven even more than I do. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying my best out here but pets are just too pure. They are all love.
Well it doesn't have a brain like yours so it really doesn't change where your dog goes even if it bites someone's head off. No rational thinking, so cannot be held accountable *unlike* us. You get the point right.
They're maybe not in heaven RIGHT NOW but God is the Lord of Restoration(He will restore them❤). He loves all of His creation. There's no reason to be worried about pets. God loves all of them
@@aceraphael It does matter where beloved pets go with us and after-life; they do have brains, unlike some other uncaring, unrational, and evil so called humans. Get the point (maybe not).
I had a pastor way back who I asked this question to. He said Heaven is a place of perfect happiness. So if you loved your pet then of course, God couldn't leave them out.
@┏┳┛ People who have NDE's have reported animals and God's creatures being there in abundance, even beloved pets. I suggest you listen to Randy Kay detail his experiences during a NDE where he encountered a dog he had as a childhood pet, he's a Christian minister today. And Eben Alexander, the neurosurgeon who experienced an NDE so vivid it changed his life direction completely. Both saw animals in abundance, as well as plant life-and certainly plants don't possess souls either though they are living.
@┏┳┛ in that case, many animals have more soul than some humans. I confirm you that animals HAVE a soul, I experienced it. I don’t know if they go to heaven, but I know God takes care of them after they leave earth.
@┏┳┛ bible is just a book written by someone somwhere long time ago and back then nobody even think about pet because nobody had any pets, I mean they had dogs but not at home as we do have them now.
hi, first of all, you said Pastor... You should go to the source of knowledge and authority, so this channel has the knowledge and authority, so you have done well. Secondly, to the best of my understanding from our Catholic Catechism, we believe that we will rise to heaven in a perfected and purified celestial body, freed from personal needs, issues, emotional ties, memory etc. We will need nothing or no one in heaven but be able to Adore Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That perfect happiness you mention is exactly that, we cannot comprehend right now (as it is mentioned in the Bible) but all the mysteries will be revealed once we enter the Kingdom of God. Best wishes.
I think God really likes all his little creatures, because he’s made so many and if we are in his image, and we love them this greatly, imagine his love for them.
Badr Maghrani no? And people are more than their religious identity. The Lord loves his creation. That’s the beginning and the end of it. Now people have the free will to determine if they want a relationship with Him or not 🤷🏻♀️
@hatter00 God has the authorty to take away life since He is the author of it. Jonah 3:6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
I had a pet rooster who was as brave, intelligent, loving and responsive as a dog! I was crying when he died. My priest said "Love is from God and is eternal. Whenever there is love, it will last eternally as it is from God. Therefore I believe animals do go to heaven" What a comfort! And thats the theology i will embrace.
We rescue roosters. They are amazing birds. I am also vegan. I do not eat anything that lives. I know then people say that plants live but they regrow...they are made for eating.
“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” ― Will Rogers I'm with Will on this. I lost my last little sweetheart 44 years ago and there isn't a day that passes that I don't think about her and what a beautiful loving soul she was. She was one of the best Heaven-sent blessings in my life.
I'm with you - It's been 20 years now that my sweet Niki had to be put down. Niki was a beautiful and vibrant yellow lab, and was the most precious thing in my life at the time. Losing her was one of the most painful ordeals I've ever experienced, it was as if her fatal illness came out of nowhere and there was absolutely nothing that could be done to save her. There will never be a day that goes by that I won't miss her deeply.
My dog passed today after 13 amazing years, I have complete faith in the lord that I will see her again when I pass myself to be reunited and never be separated again.
I believe with all my heart that all animals will be in Heaven. Our pets will all be there waiting for us. Pets from our past and future pets will be there,playing together and having a great time
I agree too! I also agree with what Father Mike said "If you want your pet to be in heaven, you must love God first, and then he might give you back your pet" and also God created humans and pets, and so we must go to heaven somehow. Also, notice the story of Noah's Ark , he took his animals with him, and then they went to heaven, because God created it for us because he wants us to be happy and good! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@sydneysstopmotion8679 If we go to Heaven, all we do is glorify and worship the Lord God for eternity. We become like the Angels who's main existence/purpose is to please God and give glory to His Name forevermore. In Heaven, our Hearts will be filled with Joy and Only God is our Joy.
Weird Cow mine passed 3 days ago and I’m crying on and off she’s been with me for my entire life and was like my shadow. I’ve been visiting her grave every day so far I hope she’s in heaven now.
Father, you did an outstanding job on this subject. My simple take is, God even loves the Sparrow as not one falls to earth without him knowing….if he loves them this much, there must be a place for them in Heaven. All things are possible with God.
My cat passed this morning after 17yrs. I know the hole I feel now is something more than I’d feel if a human family member passed and it has taken a piece of my soul.
I'm so sorry. i can tell you, the pain never ends, it subsides enough to get back into a routine. But life is never the same. When my dog died, I realized that it made facing my own death much easier. If not for other responsibilibites, I would have preferred to be buried with her. Much love and condolences to you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's been 9 months ago but if you're anything like me the pain is still in your heart & probably always will be. I lost my cat Little Britches 2 months ago & he was my dog/cat. He acted like a dog & was SOOO sweet! He'd follow me everywhere. He'd hop in my truck & ride with me. Okay I feel like I'm being kicked in the stomach again. That's just what it felt like the day I found out he died. Take care my friend. God Bless
Right before my mother died, our dog who had died before her came to get her. She saw him in the room. We told her to go with him and she did. It only makes sense that my dog came for her as she had no family who died before her that she loved.
I just lost a pup and I felt so devastated. It pained me no end that she suffered for 3 days and died before my eyes. I'm praying and that when I die my sweet Cara and I will see each other. She left a big whole in my heart😭 she's so lovable and sweetest compared to my older chi ( which I also love dearly). Im longing for her 😢I hope to find a pup as sweet as her but not now that I'm still grieving her loss. It's heartbreaking to hear similar stores of a dear pet leaving this Earth 😢😢it's painful losing a loved one like dogs and cats.
@@doloresdeguzman6487 I am so sorry for your loss and pain.💗 Everyone has different thoughts and opinions, but mine are that we are most definitely reunited with ALL of our loved ones. I hope you are able to find some comfort during this time. 💗✨
Animals are innocent, d/n need salvation, plus God will give us our pets if we ask provided we make it into heaven. Read the book: COLD NOSES AT THE PEARLY GATE. The vet loaned me the book re: my 110# German Shep dog, age 14 passed on. USA .
A few years ago I lost my dog to cancer I was very upset my dog was my best friend when I found out that my dog died I was devastated I couldn’t contain myself I didn’t want to believe it but it was true that night I prayed to God about my dog idk if I was dreaming or not but I don’t think I was it was late at night I saw something glow near my closet and it was my dog I pinched myself and everything and my dog was still there I feel like that was a sign from God that my dog will be ok and that’s why I believe that my dog is in Heaven with God
@Juliana Bray I just lost my dog a couple days ago, it was hard, very hard, especially the fact that he died because he was hit by a bike. I started to search for the answer of the question"will my pets go to heaven?", I am so glad that I get the read all these comments, I owed him a sorry, and I will have to see it to him someday when we meet again!
That would be cool. I hope lions are in heaven. Friendly, gentle lions! Not lions that will, you know, attack. But I doubt it. On the other hand, if God allows lions, cats and dogs then they will be there. His house, his rules.
My dog since childhood Snowflake passed away 2 years ago, and I had a really hard time processing it. A few months later I had a random vision of heaven where Snowflake was running through a grassy, green field with sunshine and a large tree behind her. When she had passed, she was blind and very sickly with diabetes, but in this vision I could tell she had healed and was the healthiest I had ever seen her. She ran straight into my arms, and I could somehow communicate with her without either of us opening our mouths, and I understood that she was so content and was so happy to see me, as it had been months since I last saw her (I was away at university). She told me that she was happy here so there was no reason for me to mourn anymore and that she would see me again soon. I woke up bawling my eyes out and saw it as confirmation that we would be reunited again in the next life, thanks to the goodness of the Lord. I truly believe this was a vision of heaven, as it was the most beautiful and happy place that I have ever felt in my life, and after waking up I felt I wanted to go back to this place so badly. I do not see a reason as to why God would not allow animals into heaven, let alone our passed pets, as he is everything that is God and provides us with everything we need and more.
Sending you many many higs. I know how that feels. The first time i was 6 and Yani for what i can remeber was still super young, a teacher had giving me her for christmas, and my secomd one got ran over also in 2015. And in 2017 i lost my Loka , she was out of this world, and today i lost my Cosmito who in a month and some days he would have turned 16. I was lucky to be next to all of them for their last breath. And i’m grateful for that. Stay strong.
I hope you're doing better 😭 i know that feeling i really really love my precious dog Monica. It was so hard for me to move on and even now whenever I remember her I still can't stop crying 😢
My dogs been suffering from heart failure and this morning he was near the end as i held him I could feel him gasping for air and I remember praying to God for peace over him and that very moment he passed. No more pain and heavy breathing. Just peace knowing he was no longer suffering but instead now with Jesus.
I had the same experience my dog cookie had hart failure i asked god to let her go peacefully with me at home i couldn't bare to see her injected and put to sleep i sat with her all night she looked up at me and gave her last breath and slipped away as hard as it is my little comfort is she was not alone or in pain i buried her at home where we sat each day in the garden the house is so quiet and empty without her greeting each day my only wish is to be at her side again when i pass iam sure heaven has plenty of our pets the purest of all they are the angels sent to us on earth for a short time.
The day before my dad passed, he was talking to beings I could not see. He asked “why are you dressed like that?” while petting then saying “good boy”. It didn’t hit me until after he passed; I believe he was talking to his parents and petting his childhood dog. My cat was there when my dad died. I remember seeing Tiggy looking at my dads body then moved his head like he was following something. Again, I believe Tiggy watched as my dads soul left our house and entered heaven. About a year later, I got a phone call in the evening that my cat was run over, brought to a vet and died around 5 am that morning. I didn’t believe it at first because I SAW my cat in the hallway at 7 am that morning. 2 hrs after he died. I know Tiggy’s spirit came to say goodbye to me before going to heaven. I do believe our pets will be with us in heaven. As I believe love ones will be with us as we die.
if the lion lays with the lamb...those are animals, and the Bible says those two will be there...I believe our pets will be there as well,...in fact they are having a great time now im sure,...waiting for their ppl to come be with them
God says that in heavin the lamb will lay with the lion....so obviously he is letting us know that "yes" he has made room for animals to be included in his heavenly kingdom. He also says that knows when even one sparrow falls....sounds to me like god cares very deeply for all of his creations.
@@dihydrogenmonoxide5994 oh how did you get to decide what is symbolic and what is not? I read it plain as day! No secrets in the book unless your a johova witness, then they got all kinds of codes and read of of little kids books called watch towers
Folks have been taking the Bible's imagery far too literal, and even Christ taught in parables to illustrate abstract concepts. More Bible reading and more thinking is in order for all of us.
My dog was hit by a car yesterday and passed away. Trying to cope with the loss of my best friend. The only person who loved me unconditionally weather am rich or poor, ugly or cute, fat or thin. Tried watching many videos to come to terms with this loss. This video really helped me a lot. Thank you 🙏
There is so much passion here! When we loose a beloved pet before it I, just sees. Noir! My beloved was murdered by a neighbor because he was afraid of birthday fireworks and yelping. He was large but a sissy! Chancy I love you
My dog has a beautiful soul, I see it every time I look in her eyes. She is good & pure & brings so much peace. I think all dogs are a gift from God & I refuse to believe that they don't get to experience heaven & be reunited with us if we are deserving. 💗
Been crying all night, my dog just passed away, 1 hour ago, 4 days after my 23rd birthday, and he was almost 2 years old... for me he is resting now in my own haven
Yo you might not see this but I feel your pain my dog just died 3 days ago and he just had turned 3 in February it’s still hard for me and today I attend he funeral I hope that someday when we leave this life to go to the next one our loved ones our bestfriends will greet us and I hope you’re doing all right so sorry for your dog but you are not alone much love and hope you’re doing fine❤️
@@Nahviuxmy cat died 2 months ago and it's been really painful. I still cry everyday and miss her so much, just like you do your beloved dog. I really feel that God has shown me that we will see them in Heaven. I'm so sorry for the pain you're experiencing. Remember that a loving God who created his creatures with emotion and love, loves them just as much or even more than we do. The Bible says that God is even with a little sparrow when it dies. Take care💗.
Unless one has had a relationship with a dog (or cat) they can not understand the profound love, sensitivity, and loyalty experienced. At first we appreciate their cuteness, etc., but then they teach us what great friendship and love really is all about.
Lyn Berger I beg to differ, it has been proven that pets have feelings just as much as humans do. Here are some links: www.news.nationalgeographic.com ethology.eu academic.oup.com
my bunny always comes closer when I start praying he gets happier and stars runing in circles around me, he also knows exactly the time of day I start praying, he watches whole masses on tv, all of that without anyone forcing him to
My beloved cat of nearly 16 yrs passed away two days ago. It was so sad watching her die. I begged God for one last summer with her - but only if it was His Will. It was not to be. I buried her in her favourite place in the garden and am so distraught she's gone. She meant so much to me I never realised it. She was always there beside me giving me warmth and comfort. Whenever I prayed and made the sign of the cross she followed my hand movements with her eyes so was also making the sign of the cross. I promised her we'd be together again as she breathed her last....I hope God will grant this. I do love Jesus above all things and hope He has mercy on me. My little angel has returned to heaven, her work done in teaching me patience and unconditional love. I miss her terribly. Rest in peace Willow.
@@dmg1866 I’m sorry for your loss! I’m not good in words of comfort but I will be praying for you and your sweet pet 🖤 she is taken care of you and doing the sign of the cross with you from heaven
my love for my dog brought me to God. If it wasn't for him I'd be forever a skeptic. When my dog passed 5 mo ago in my lowest moments, I felt a message from him "if you think I loved you imagine how much Jesus loves you, look for HIM and you'll find out". I truly believe my dog was my angel on earth..
I am a graduate and scholar from the University of Oxford United Kingdom, ranking # 1 in the world as we stand, and I have a masters degree, and Professor in Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies for over 30 years, I understand the original Hebrew, also to include a scholarship in the Traditional Greek( KOINE) language in which Paul spoke and understood. There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. Do animals have souls? No. The Bible says that both animals and humans are souls. (Numbers 31:28) When the first man, Adam, was created, he was not given a soul but “became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, footnote) A soul is composed of two things: the “dust from the ground” and “the breath of life.” Can souls die? Yes, the Bible teaches that souls can die. (Leviticus 21:11, footnote; Ezekiel 18:20) At death, animals and humans return to the dust of the earth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) In other words, they cease to exist. Do animals sin? No. To sin means to think, feel, or do something that violates God’s standards. In order to sin, a creature must be able to make moral decisions, but animals lack this ability. They usually act according to instinct during their limited life span. (2 Peter 2:12) At the end of their life span, they die, even though they do not sin. Is animal cruelty acceptable? No. God gave humans authority over the animals but not the right to mistreat them. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8:6-8) God cares about the welfare of each animal-including small birds. (Jonah 4:11; Matthew 10:29) He commanded his worshippers to treat animals considerately.-Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 25:4; Proverbs 12:10. Bible verses about animals Genesis 1:28: “God blessed [the first humans], and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.’” Meaning: God gave humans authority over the animals. Numbers 31:28: “As a tax . . . , you should take from the soldiers who went out into the battle one soul out of every 500, of the people, the herd, the donkeys, and the flock.” Meaning: Both animals and humans are souls. Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals.” Meaning: Good people care properly for animals, including their pets. Matthew 10:29: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.” Meaning: God notices and cares about animals-even small birds.
You have not read the scriptures with the right heart attitude. You have to humble yourself and allow the Spirit of God to reveal the truth to you. You can’t come at it with your mind already made up. You must pray, sincerely and ask God to soften your heart and to teach you who His animals really are. Don’t be blind but open the eyes of your heart.🙏🏻
my pet guinea pig just died yesterday in my arms, i told god, "please take her with your warm hands and play with her in paradise. And also, let her be the first one that will see me when I go to heaven too."
Before my grandfather died he talked to his dead relatives including his dogs that passed. That gave me so much comfort knowing I would see my dogs again.
**Here's a cool story: I had 2 bichons. They looked so much alike to strangers, who would always stop me and say "oh they're so cute. They look so much alike. How do you tell them apart?" But as their Mom, I could absolutely tell them apart. Anyhow, this past December, one of them died 💔. Ever since, it's been hard for me to walk the one I still have on the same route I used to walk them bc I keep seeing all the favorite spots to sniff of the one who died. So I started walking my dog a different route. But recently, one evening, I walked the old route and I felt the sadness of missing my dog when I passed those spots. I prayed to Jesus and asked if He could please give my dog who died a hug and a kiss for me and tell him I love and miss him. The very next afternoon, I was walking my dog at a local park. I walked past an older woman on the path. I nodded and said hello. She looked and said "Oh they're so cute! They look so much alike". I almost fell over. I couldn't even speak. I just smiled at her and kept walking, totally stunned. I stayed this way for quite a while. I thanked God bc it was as if He was telling me that he's still somehow with us. The funny thing is that ever since he died, I started walking my dog who's still alive with the other dog's leash bc I missed him. So it was like he was still walking with us, in a way. Anyhow, this woman blew my mind. I thought to myself, "either she's seeing double or my boy is still walking with us". Some things you just cannot explain. But this soothed my heart and I thank God for that. ❤️🙌🙏
As a fellow dog lover, I truly understand your pain. Any sign of their presence after their death can be comforting ❤️ I believe God has His hand in this!
Dogs are angels, sent to be with us in times of need, there are thousands of examples of dogs appearing at just the right time to save and minister to humans. If the Father knows when a sparrow falls, why would anyone think the Father would forget your beloved pet.
To be honest I find this true, not just with dogs but with animals in general. Me and my “fiancé” got a cat together, well she cheated on me, and actually wanted to take her but I told her I really wanted her. Well I do, and she comforts me and makes me feel so much better, and in just the right time. So in sense I think you’re right.
why do you refuse to see the truth even when put to your face?... because the lie is more comforting, beautiful?... don't fool yourself, for your own sake
Recently held my 16 year old dog who died in my arms. I was aware of her last breath, aware of the love she had given me, the pain she endured at the end, an example to me. She and the other pets and loves of my life have helped me to love God better, to understand unquestioning love ...better. She will always be part of my soul ......the lessons she taught, the comfort she brought, the concept that real love, as in Gods love, remains in spite of our sins and failures. Do I love her more then God, no, but I do love God more because she was in my life.....without a doubt.
Diane Alden you are so lucky. My Flossie died August 15. While I was in the VA Hospital. I would have gladly given the rest of my life to have been there with her. I will always feel like I let her down.
My little dog Madison died last year. A few months later I was sitting on the edge of my bed praying before going to sleep. I saw Madison standing on the edge of my bed. I used to let her sleep on my bed. She was well groomed. Her hair was long like a Maltese's hair is usually kept but I always had her coat cut short. I believe pets go to heaven because they are God's creation. I hadn't even considered the question before this happened.
I've been reading a book called "cold noises at the pearly gates" it opened my eyes. It talks a lot about scriptures and enough evidence to support the theory of us see our pets in heaven. I personally truly believe I will see my Dog when it's my time. When he passed, so many unexplainable events happened. It felt like a sign telling me he was ok and not to worry. I agree God wants us to love him more then life itself. And I admit I have put my pet before God before. I'm learning not to do that when we adopt another little dog. I personally believe God sends little angels in disguise to help us become closer to God. Our pets are pure souls and I feel like they understand things of the unknown more then we ever will on earth. Which is why their not meant to be on this earth for too long. Their here to teach us and then when their job is done, they returned home to Heaven.
Diana Gascon last time I checked walking upright is what ppl do animals walk on all fours bad example lol sry but you said it so I guess the animals perish........
this is certainly true in my case. My cat Mojo softened me and made me a better person. he died a week ago. Ill never be the same without him. he was the first animal that loved me above any one or anything else in the world. it hurts so bad without him.
@@JakeIannarino mine passed away a few hours ago and I can't with this pain. Her name was, is and forever will be Bicho. She taught me how to be loved unconditionally. She picked me to be her human and was by my side giving me comfort tru really hard times, now she's gone I honestly don't know how to live without her in my life. May she rest in peace in the heaven she earned. I will always love her.
@@Marijo221 i will say a prayer for her tonight. people say the pain will pass in time, but it hasn't for me. I am so sorry for your loss. God sometimes sends us teachers in the form of animals. they are not pets, they are family. what was her name?
I lost my dog today but I think it was fast Princessita was beautiful and happy, she was my "little baby" what I called her. She made me very happy even through those dark days. She was with us through 2 movings. Her little puppy eyes. I loved her so much and I'll pray with all my heart that ill see my princesita there. I love my baby and ill see you in heaven ❤❤❤🐶
I lost my beautiful chocolate lab today. She died trying to please us. She was blind had diabetes and started having heart failure and was still waging her tail. We knew it was time. I love my dog lexi so much and I hope Jesus takes good care of her and hopefully I can see her again someday through the lord.
We lost our beloved cat Sunny today after adopting him almost 16 years ago; it was so painful. My kids grew up with him. My eldest daughter held him for over an hour after he passed. I pray that God lets us see him in heaven🙏
I PRAY my dog will be in heaven ! he has been a true blessing to me, when all people and family members have walked away, my baby boy is with me and he has filled my heart with so much love.
absolutely,so if god screwed up,then faults with us then its his is fault,i think.he cannot put us here in his own likeness and then abandon us.and also all our loved ones,with two legs or four.
The love we feel for our pets is only a taste of Gods love! 😍 I yearn for heaven on a daily basis. People giggle at the way I describe the deep desire I have to be there. I cannot wait, with every inch of my being and the joy and excitement that comes from me at just the thought is indescribable. I don’t need my pet to be there, but I believe all my pets will be with me in eternity simply because of all the love! We will be SO filled with Gods love that nothing else will even matter - but with that amount of love for our pets I feel would be Gods way of just loving us all the more. I just lost my dog of 12 yrs, 3 days ago and the only consolation I have for my broken heart is picturing Jesus welcoming her in and her running and playing in beautiful fields, filled with blissful love! Prayers for everyone grieving their pets! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️ They are truly a blessing from God!
Oh for sure Jesus receives our pets.... because He once told me that He gave us HIS precious pets for our comfort..... So they are His babies first!! I have had visions and proof that He personally received all my passed pets.
I did when I saw her face. My kitty was the very best part of me. I just lost a few hours ago and I'm in such a deep pain. May she rest in the heaven she earned.
My cat appeared to me when she died .. she spoke to me and told me we would be friends forever!. I discovered her body later. I had no idea she was sick or elderly so I am sure that all of God's creatures..our pets, have souls and are part of His glorious plan.
I really do hope to see my dog again. The love I have for her is wild. She passed away yesterday and it was one of the saddest days of my live,I have lost some family members but the pain of losing my dog is truly a little worse. I have realized that sometimes losing someone only brings you closer to God
I don’t think I’ll “need” my pet in order to be happy in Heaven. I’ll be happy there regardless. However, the idea of pets going to Heaven is a separate concept. I think it needs to be looked at from a new perspective that is not tied to us “needing” them there. I firmly believe animals have souls and the energy that leaves their body does not just disappear when they die. God’s love is non-discriminatory. He loves all of his creatures.
@ Anthea Fisher: A Priest once told me that there is a special place in Heaven for our pets and what ever God creates he never destroys. So, you see, our pets are in a special place in Heaven and we will see them someday. Don't worry, and God Bless you🙏💖
@@richardturner6981 - That place your Priest was talking about is called "Rainbow's Bridge". Essentially, Rainbow's Bridge is an other-worldly place where pets go upon death, where they are to eventually be reunited with their owners. God is so good. ❤️
Totally agree with you! My cat’s passing confirmed me that spirits/souls exist and they are SO POWERFUL. Personally believing in them going to heaven gives me peace thinking that they are being taken care of, that they are in a happy place and they are not lost in space. When she left all I asked was for her to be safe and happy. I didn’t think of seeing her again in heaven at that moment, I just wanted the best for her ❤️
I don't see animals as people and I've taken care of plenty of people that went through the dying process in healthcare. I held my sweet little sickly cat as they euthanized her to put her out of her misery. It just happened to be her birthday too not that it was planned at all. I still cry about it on and off the last few years. I'm a poor catholic and I can't see someone like me that doesn't have any kids and as much joy they brought me, companionship, lessons on life and loving something unconditionally even if it means letting them go back to the earth that they don't have purpose in creation. Whatever animated that kitty maybe different then what is in humans when they die, but energy, life leaves them regardless, and I don't think it's destroyed. So if animals don't have a place after death I at least comfort myself that whatever animated her wasn't destroyed it went somewhere.
@@anorien1 I’m sorry for you loss😔. I can confirm you that kitties (and probably all animals) have spirits and they live on after their body dies. I had the most surreal experience 1 day after my cat’s passing. I can’t say if it was really a dream cuz it was different from the other dreams I had after that incident. She visited me and I saw 2 big hands carrying her upward as she disappeared. And then an energy wave covered me from head to toe, I could feel it flowing into every blood vessel in my body. It also delivered 3 messages: I’m safe, don’t cry too much and don’t blame yourself. It really calmed me down and made me feel safe. The energy was so powerful that I couldn’t move for a few seconds and after I woke up, I could still feel this energy in my body. I was NOT religious when this happened, but a Christian friend did say a prayer for my cat over the phone cuz she happened to call me right before I brought my cat to the vet. I did say Amen and was/still am grateful of her. I AM a believer now thanks to my cat. So many amazing things happened after she left and it can’t be just a coincidence. God loves everything he created on Earth including our beloved pets ❤️
Retired protestant minister here----that was a great answer Father Mike. If the lion is going to lie down with the lamb, maybe the dog will lie down with the cat.
I'm so sorry about your dog. In Psalm 50 vs 10 & 11 The Bible says, for every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine. Clearly God is taking ownership of the creatures that He put on the earth. I do not believe God will abandon these beautiful animals that He created. I most definitely believe you will see your dog again. Blessings.. Don
me too on wednesday i rly hope you can see him again and most of all be with him again this is what i want for my lost dogs and me i WANT to be with them again for the rest of time
I'm so sorry for your loss....yes you will see your furball when you pass on...God would not abandon the beautiful,loyal,loving creatures that He created for our pleasure!!! His love for us has no bounds....God recognizes the love we have for our furbabies...Just imagine God and His Son playing with our furbabies,no hurts,no pain and God will walk them to the pearly front gate to reunite you with His loving creatures!!! God Bless You and be patient....I too I'm waiting...mine an all black cat named "TRUMPY",PUT TO SLEEP 8/17/22. Weeping!!! ..
My sweet baby passed away a while back. Her and I were as close as conjoined twins. Truly. She helped me through some real hard times. She helped me find God. I’ve always loved God but. She was the driving force that got me baptized. I said “if I’m ever going to see her in heaven, I need to be baptized”. For that alone, I think she should be in heaven. But there is much more that I think says animals are in heaven. So much more that I’d probably have to make 23 comments just to get my point across. By saying that animals aren’t in heaven is limiting God. If there is grass in heaven, why wouldn’t my beloved pets be there, too?
I had a very similar experience, the only difference is that I was baptized as a child but it was my dog who got me closer to him, and now she is gone. I am in a mix of emotions
Have you ever noticed what you get when you spell the word "dog" backward? Best believe that is not a coincidence. The absolute unconditional love that dogs are capable of giving to their humans reflects the same selfless, sacrificing, and truest form of unconditional love that God has for us. All I know is that there is no other being on this earth that deserves heaven more than dogs do.
My 13 year old Niko passed 3 days ago. I am heartbroken, my husband talked to me that we need to keep it together for our kids. We go outside since I can't stay inside anymore and we spot a cloud that looked just like him! His tail, ears, little legs everything perfectly shaped! That was a sign from him, telling me that's hes happy and he wants me to be happy! I feel peace in my heart. And I know with time I will heal
When I was watching my cat be euthanized, the moment his soul left his body it was very apparent. His eyes were an empty void and I couldn’t stand to be in the room any longer with his vessel. His soul went somewhere and I just know he’s waiting for me. Before we even went to the vet, I told him to wait for me to come back. I told him that we will see each other again. And when his soul left, he went somewhere. He didn’t just disappear into nothingness.
Sally my cat died a few days ago. I haven't put his food or water bowl away. I cant bring myself to do it. it hurts so bad. I cant stop crying. I hope you are right because I miss my boy Mojo.
Mathew 6:26 says, Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. So I guess God's taking care of His creation :)
I totally beleive that they will. My 16 month old saw my dog olive flying around her head.After olive died in the middle of the night , we were in the living room in the morning and I was just so sad and My daughter was playing and all the sudden she yelled “puppy puppy!” And was pointing at the ceiling and giggling and spinning to see the dog up there . Then again when we were outside she pointed to the sky and told me puppy puppy . I had told her nothing about the dog dying and she was too young to understand anyways .
Every animal I have ever had was absolutely sent by God. Every one of those animals has a soul, you can see it in their eyes and by the affection they show. I don't believe the God I love would leave out the animals. And if I can't be reunited with them in Heaven? I'm not sure I want to go anyplace where animals aren't allowed, even heaven.

My dog was my baby girl and she just died three months ago but there is still a hole in my heart that she left behind. She was the best dog there was and I really miss her. She was a well behaved beautiful blonde Great Dane and her name was Missy.
I know how you feel Savannah and I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my soul mate Shadow 8 months ago. I have been fighting depression and I am just sad all the time now. I know my soul went with her when she left. I prayed for God to take me instead and give my life to her, but I watched her pass right before my eyes. It ripped my life apart. We did everything together, went everywhere together. I just don't know how to live now without her.
@@darrelltremblay9169 I am so sorry for your loss. They are our soul dogs. They are connected to us on a soul level. Trying to live without them is like trying to live without a heart, or without lungs. A giant piece of us is missing now. I will never get another dog. My girl was my once in a lifetime girl. I will carry the pain of her passing to my grave. Then I will finally be with her forever, like it should be. Prayers for your healing my friend.
2021, freaking pandemic, and I lost my puppy 3 days ago, due to a freaking tragic accident. She choked on a dog treat and died in my arms. I am devasted in pain and agony. I only had her for 1 year and needless to say how much love she brought to my life. I really hope she is in a special place!
I'm so very sorry, that must've been really heartbreaking and shocking. I had to put my cat to sleep due to cancer recently . I didn't know she had it and wasn't prepared to say Goodbye. I know it's a terrible grief. Im so sorry you had to go through that.❤️. I feel that God has shown me over the years that we'll see our pets in Heaven.
Ouch! That one hurts! I'm so sorry you experienced that. And I'm also glad that during such a scary time for your dog you could be there to give a little bit of comfort and say it's ok. I pray God give you the peace you need.
I just lost my beautiful 13.5 year old little girl yesterday. Watching this video and reading these comments have brought me so much peace and comfort. I miss her more than anything but I pray she is happy and running again like a Golden Retriever should be.
I watched this today, the day that we our dog put down. I just cannot imagine that God would give us these sweet beings and have connection completely leave when they leave. The view of St. Thomas discounts so much. Where does St. Francis out Patron Saint of Animals fall into all of this?
I have The New Scofield Study BIble and it says (Genesis (1:24) "In the sense of conscious life an animal also has a soul" so it is comforting to know that our beloved pets that has given us unconditional love that has passed, that we will see them in heaven and they will be there to greet us.
ok i wish animals can go to heaven that would be great unfortunately animals dont have souls so its not possible fo animals can go to heaven humans can go because we have a soul but for animals its not possible unless they do have one and god is only coming back for humans not animals but it really wish animals can go trust me it would be great
i remember when i asked my catholic priest after confession if my dog would be in heaven and he told me something ill never forget: "Dogs bring us so much joy and happiness that it's honestly hard to see them as anything other than gods gift to us. Yes, i think they'll be i heaven when we go there...where else would their souls go?"
I had a beautiful tabby cat who was in my family for nearly 20 years, and she passed away late July of 2021. I will never forget how deeply I cried for her that day. I have a black cat with a single black spot at the nape of his neck, so I hugged him for comfort. My sister and I didn't want to get another cat, we didn't want to think about it, but a co-worker of mine insisted I give the cat on my profile picture a chance, so I did. I know my tabby cat is okay now, I too have asked God, and Jesus to hug her, and tell her that I love her. As for the new cat, I am so glad I gave this sweet girl a loving home. I have a feeling she was abandoned because when I put her in the carrier to take her to the vet she wails with sadness, and I tell her that I am not leaving her, and that she is mine.
MY DOG OF 15 YEARS MY BABY WHEN SHE DIED A LARGE PART OF ME DIED WITH HER I CRIED LIKE A BABY THEN N 20 YEARS LATER I STILL CRY WHEN I LOOK AT PICTURES OF HER I CRIED LIKE A BABY I HOPE SHES UP THERE WHEN THE FATHER CALLS ME AMEN
Richard Hudak, God knows our heart and also remember St Antonio of Assisi and St Martin de Porres they love animals and I'm sure that they pray to God in heaven for our beloved pets. My 4 year old dog who is my baby has kidney failure and I'm praying for a miracle and I know that those two Saints are also praying for her. God bless you.
"Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has the heart of man conceived, (in our collective wildest imagination) what God has prepared for those for those who love Him."
My beloved companion dog of almost 16 years passed away a few weeks ago. I know I will see her again. She embodied the Christ-like life embodying unjudgemental love.
SandMan287 15 “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” I think he meant dogs as in bad people
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
My niece, born with the ability to see or speak to spirits, as it is in my mother's side of the family, at around 5 yes old, loved my grandmother so much, she would be taken to visit her very often. One day, they took her to visit to let her know that she had passed away. In the elevator, on the way to her condo, suddenly, it stopped, and lost power. The lights went out. Just for second. When they came back on, my niece was staring at the floor. My parents and sister called her. Getting her attention, feeling that something was.. "off". She suddenly said, in Spanish, "my grandmother has passed away.." of course, this left them stunned. Then she continued," she is up in heaven, and she is playing with cosmo.." this brought EVERYONE to tears.. she had never met cosmo. She didn't know who he was at the time. My grandmother never got close to him, cause he was my dog my dalmatian. A big dog that kinda made her feel nervous being around him, lol. To me, and to my family, this can't be disputed. This is proof of the perfection of heaven. God keeps it secret to surprise us with such wonders we can't even imagine, because even the colors up there don't exist on this good earth.. this event always brings me to tears everytime I remember it, lol 🥲...
I was working at a nursing home years ago and a resident who coded but the doctors and nurses were able to revive him. Anyways being old and senile man he was, he told me once that God loves his animals and has a special place for them. ❤️ 🙏
The Book of Wisdom says that God loves all that He created and if He didn't love it He wouldn't have created it. I may have some quarrels with God over things like ticks and mosquitoes, but there are several furbabies I hope to cuddle again in, say, 40 years.
For myself heaven wouldn't be heaven without my pet children. Animals are innocent creatures who do not sin. All species suffer so much here on earth. I have to believe they also like us can experience great joy and love in heaven after death.
Same here. We think of the animals we love and had the fortune of having a great life. What about those who suffer and know no love? Is that the only experience they have? I cannot believe any decent God would allow that to happen.
Kit g Yet they don't have Jesus they can't be forgiven they don't have souls and can't have the Holy Spirit. If you have the love of your pet you mine as well come out and say you love the world...
As a fellow priest for 47 years my answer would be this: I think that when we get to Heaven we will be happily surprised by a lot of things.
Thank you.
That's not a clear answer, especially to a young child. It would have been more honest to just say 'I don't know..' or 'I hope so...'
@@evkat6343 atleast they wont fear death
Welp consider for a moment not all people we love will make it into heaven just because we want them. Lately i feel like its best not to think about Heaven too much and just take everything one day at a time.
And you’ll be shocked at who _isn’t_ in heaven you assumed would be... am I right? Best kept secret of the Catholic Church right here, folks.
Anyone who has a pet as a best friend knows what unconditional love is!
April Xo Dogs don’t condemn you and are your biggest fan. When I see dogs and their unconditional love for their humans, I see God and his love for us. Dogs (and all pets really) love you no matter what, like God himself 😉
Unconditional love is what you give your dog, your dog's love is extremely conditional. I did dog fostering for a bit of time, dogs do not have unconditional love, you may though.
Guvuc
April Xo of course when you’re taking good care of them
I miss my kitty
When I was about 7, the dog my family had owned since before I was born, died. I asked our Priest if dogs went to Heaven. The Priest took me aside and knelt down to be on my level and said in a low voice (as if to say this is just between you and me) "would it even BE Heaven if animals weren't there?" I answered NO!. The Priest replied, "There's your answer". I will never forget that.
thats cool man...i lost my baby girl yesterday and I really am excited for that day
So animals will go to Heaven??
Sydneyjade24 absolutely yes! ❤️
beautiful! What a smart Priest! Amen!
Absolutely
I just lost my cat of 18 years, and it was hard. A friend told me something that made it all come together for me. Pet's give us unconditional love like what the Lord gives us. This made me realize that I don't want to loose God's unconditional love. 🙏 more.
Since God's love is unconditional, you will never loose it. I agree with you about the love of a pet--it's unconditional and complete. Maybe God gave them to us as a reminder about His unconditional love.
Pure love,no strings attached,no ulterior motives,just love. Speaking on dogs,they can sense things that we cannot, sensing sometimes the spiritual realm,earthquakes about to happen, seizures etc.
Thank you for this message 🙏.
I also lost my 18-yr old cat today
its so shocking to me, these animals are truly like angels, God rest our beloved pets
Quick story on my dog; before he passed:
Years ago I was at a dark place where I felt God wasn't answering my prays. I was in deep depression because of family issues. I took my dog out, and he kept pulling me to a different direction he never walked before. He's never done that in the many years I had him. So this time I followed him. He later lead me to a church I've never notice before in my area. It was well hidden. My dog walked right in front of the bulletin board and looked at me. As almost as he was saying "God does care."
I began going to this church and it saved my life. That's when I began to be closer to God.
(That's just many reasons why I personally believe they go to heaven.) God sends them to us for a reason. I hope everyone has the joy of raising a pet and bonding with them someday.
Joeyblondewolf2 Hi Joey! Didn't expect to see you here!
Joeyblondewolf2 AMAZING GOD DOES USE ANIMALS BECAUSE WE CAN BE SO SMART OR SO DUMB .REMEMBER IN THE BIBLE HE USED THE DONKEY HE SAID YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY IDIOT LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Equalizertime You should subscribe to Joey. I've been subbed to them for a while, and they actually produce some great content.
I've learned from personal experience that in our darkest times, when we feel all hope is lost and asking God for help, many times we are not answered directly as we know it. God will send us a sign or message answering you, telling you what needs to be done and not to despair. Things will work out, it may be hard but when asking for help, sometimes you just have to open your eyes to see the answer even though it may not be the answer you were looking for.

About 6 years ago I was extremely depressed. Feeling down. I decided to take a drive and loaded up my dog Molly in the car as a traveling companion. As I was driving I began to cry. I prayed to God to ask if He was there listening to my prayers, if He would help me. I asked if my mom and dad were there with God and if they would pray for me. I asked for a sign that God heard my prayers. I decided on the road I would visit the cemetery and my parents headstone, and I would stop and give them a prayer. After about a 2 hour drive, I pulled in to the cemetery and parked about 10 feet away from the headstone. As I opened the door to let Molly out to use the bathroom, she, instead of going right to the tree I parked next to, jumped out, ran behind my car and went right to my parents headstone- stood in front of it, and began wagging her tail. Molly had never been there before! God heard my prayers. God is real. He appeared to me through my loving pet. Therefore I know Molly will be there for me when I pass. When I say goodbye to her in a few days, after 17 years of being together, I will be comforted in knowing she will be waiting for me. Thank you God.
Beautiful pets deserve to play in heaven and be loved❤
Our pets are better than people and God gave them to us for a reason. If we are worthy to enter heaven where ever it is our pet will be there. I’m surprised this priest doesn’t really agree. June 6, 2023
@@marilynferro9546 i believe our pets will be there. Priests believe they have NO SOULS therefore no heaven. A family member of mine & i had an argument about this. I taught my children GOD made all things therefore he has a place for all his creatures. God is all loving & has a place for all his creature large & small.
This is so moving! I think my dog was a gift from God or Jesus! I adopted her right after our other little dog passed, and my whole family loves her so much. She brought us out of our grieving, and she is just the most loving dog I ever did know! I know there is a place in heaven for dogs, because this one is our guardian Angel!
Dude! That definitely was God working his magic! I was an atheist for so long then God went out of His way, seemingly, to prove His real love and beautiful power. The blessings have been countless and many less-than-subtle! If I were to journal my experiences and someone, even reasonably open-minded read it, they'd think I'm either crazy or authoring a fantastic story! God doesn't stop at one, any time I need a spiritual boost, there He is. Instead of reflecting at that awesome situation as "that one time..." you just might notice it was the first time you realized such a thing, and it could be the beginning of a whole new relationship with God!! I've also noticed in this journey how many times He obviously finessed a thing or two for my sake in past occasions, and how many doors have been opened for me even if I never creatures l crossed the threshold. Thanks G!! And thanks for sharing your experience sir!
I created this account 2 years ago for my dog. He’s gone now. Please remember him
Stay strong, God bless you💛
I love u Sending love
He looked like a gorgeous boy sorry for your loss
Rip bud, I lost mine 8/31/20 hardest thing I’ve ever done, we’ll meet them again one day
So sorry for your loss! God bless.
When my dog I served with in Iraq passed away my mom said something very profound. She said God does not waste his energy on all things he has created. We will see them again.
Thank you for your service
Beautiful.
I so agree , thank you for your serving
Thank you and your fur baby for ya'lls service in Iraq. That's very beautiful what your mom said to you.I don't love anything more than I love God,and God knows our heart. I do believe our pets have their own little souls and we will be with them in heaven🙏❤️
I miss you sadie girl
I lost my husband of 31 years and my dear little dog of 13 years. They passed very close together. I can't stop grieving for both of them. The only thing that comforts me is to think they could be together and my hubby is taking care of our dog.
Oh, Candace... I am so very sorry. I can't even imagine how terribly you must be grieving. To suffer two tremendously heartwrenching losses in such a short amount of time is unimaginable - and my heart sincerely goes out to you. Your husband and your dog are most certainly together in Heaven, and there will come a day where the three of you will be reunited again. It will be a day so glorious that it isn't even possible for you to comprehend just how glorious it will be until that day comes. Until then, I pray that God gives you the necessary comfort, peace, and understanding so that you can live, enjoy, and truly embrace the rest of the years that you have left here on earth. It's important to live your life in such a way that honors the beautiful life that the three of you shared together before they passed on. Sadly, those who suffer these types of losses end up feeling a sense of guilt trying to live again, but what they don't understand is that living a beautiful and meaningful life is the most tremendous gift that they could possibly give to those they've loved and are waiting for them in Heaven. Take good care of yourself, Candace - I'll be praying for you.
@@KelleyBroussardMackaig Thank you, Kelley, and God bless you.
@@KelleyBroussardMackaig thank you. What a comforting words for someone who just lost a dear pet. Lost my sweetest Cara (Chihuahua) last night and it pained me so much. I'm praying and hoping we will be united in heaven (praying harder) when my time comes to leave this Earth. I was devastated seeing her suffer for 3 days and died just before my eyes 😢😢I love you Cara and missed you so much!!
Yes, dear, they are in Heaven waiting for you! 💕💕💕
@@focamoura Absolutely! Why would God leave any of his beloved creatures out of HEaven? The answer: HE WON'T. Those who would DARE suggest that God would keep his amazing creatures out of Heaven are heretics. Because the only alternative is that they would be abandoned to the Earth, to the demon world. It makes absolutely NO SENSE that God would allow that. So you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! God Bless!
St Francis of Assisi said: "Does every creature have a soul? Surely they do; for everything God as touched will live forever".
Annie could you please tell me what book I could buy to learn about St. Francis' assurances that pets are in heaven? I am going right now through an extreme grief since my cat of 14.5 crossed over. The depression, anxiety and PTSD are making it difficult for me to function. She had serious illnesses and went into a respiratory failure and I rushed her to the vet and let her go. My world revolved around her and my life is not worth living without my precious little girl. Thank you.
So beautiful!!!
@@violettaw215 Your cat is is heaven. Do not worry. They are innocent and have a special place in God's heart. There are many who have died and come back after visits to heaven. You can watch this TH-cam with this Title: "Animals in Heaven - (Do Pets Go To Heaven?) NDE Stories". NDE is "Near Death Experience". Hope that will comfort you.
Violetta W so sorry that is me as I have many animals that have gone it is heartbreaking so sorry
@@violettaw215 I know what you mean .I just lost my beautiful little cat and it is so difficult to function.
I definitely believe there are animals in heaven. When God created the garden of Eden, in all of its perfection, there were animals so obviously God is an animal lover.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
There are horses in heaven. In revelations, Jesus is coming back in white horses.
@@awakenedone7577 love this.🧡

Revelation 19:11-15
_Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider was called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war justly. His eyes were like a fiery flame, and on his head were many royal crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He wore a robe dyed with blood, and his name was called the Word of God. Heaven’s armies, wearing fine linen that was white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword that he will use to strike down the nations. He is the one who will rule them with an iron rod. And he is the one who will trample the winepress of the Almighty God’s passionate anger._
You are a mistake
I lost my little dog yesterday. She was like a member of my family, and she was more human than a lot of humans I know. I really hope that I’ll get to see her again.
You ABSOLUTELY will. I assure you.
I’m really sorry. This is heartbreaking.
Pope Francis has said you definitely will see her in Heaven
Love never dies. Sorry for your lost. Have no doubt you two will hug again
I had my cat euthanized a bit over a year ago. I sometimes still cry for him. A pet is not like a member of the family, it is a member of the family.
I just feel like my dog deserves going to heaven even more than I do. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying my best out here but pets are just too pure. They are all love.
Well it doesn't have a brain like yours so it really doesn't change where your dog goes even if it bites someone's head off. No rational thinking, so cannot be held accountable *unlike* us. You get the point right.
Jesus makes it all right. He loves us, He made it right for us..if you Believe in Him then you have everlasting life
They're maybe not in heaven RIGHT NOW but God is the Lord of Restoration(He will restore them❤). He loves all of His creation. There's no reason to be worried about pets. God loves all of them
@@aceraphael It does matter where beloved pets go with us and after-life; they do have brains, unlike some other uncaring, unrational, and evil so called humans. Get the point (maybe not).
I feel the same. I just want to see my baby girl of 16 years old again
I had a pastor way back who I asked this question to. He said Heaven is a place of perfect happiness. So if you loved your pet then of course, God couldn't leave them out.
This is how I feel.
@┏┳┛ People who have NDE's have reported animals and God's creatures being there in abundance, even beloved pets. I suggest you listen to Randy Kay detail his experiences during a NDE where he encountered a dog he had as a childhood pet, he's a Christian minister today. And Eben Alexander, the neurosurgeon who experienced an NDE so vivid it changed his life direction completely. Both saw animals in abundance, as well as plant life-and certainly plants don't possess souls either though they are living.
@┏┳┛ in that case, many animals have more soul than some humans. I confirm you that animals HAVE a soul, I experienced it. I don’t know if they go to heaven, but I know God takes care of them after they leave earth.
@┏┳┛ bible is just a book written by someone somwhere long time ago and back then nobody even think about pet because nobody had any pets, I mean they had dogs but not at home as we do have them now.
hi, first of all, you said Pastor... You should go to the source of knowledge and authority, so this channel has the knowledge and authority, so you have done well. Secondly, to the best of my understanding from our Catholic Catechism, we believe that we will rise to heaven in a perfected and purified celestial body, freed from personal needs, issues, emotional ties, memory etc. We will need nothing or no one in heaven but be able to Adore Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That perfect happiness you mention is exactly that, we cannot comprehend right now (as it is mentioned in the Bible) but all the mysteries will be revealed once we enter the Kingdom of God. Best wishes.
I think God really likes all his little creatures, because he’s made so many and if we are in his image, and we love them this greatly, imagine his love for them.
you expressed it wonderfully
Badr Maghrani no? And people are more than their religious identity. The Lord loves his creation. That’s the beginning and the end of it. Now people have the free will to determine if they want a relationship with Him or not 🤷🏻♀️
@hatter00 God has the authorty to take away life since He is the author of it. Jonah 3:6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:
“By the decree of the king and his nobles:
Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.
read KJV Rev 22 and you will see who will make it to heaven
This made me tear up.
I had a pet rooster who was as brave, intelligent, loving and responsive as a dog! I was crying when he died. My priest said "Love is from God and is eternal. Whenever there is love, it will last eternally as it is from God. Therefore I believe animals do go to heaven"
What a comfort! And thats the theology i will embrace.
No, Jesus will make us new animals in heaven.
You will see your loving rooster again. I promise.
@@tom-ks6hz ... By Jesus making you a new pet rooster in heaven.
God loves all creatures he made. Be it man woman cat,, dog even rats will be in heaven because they too were created by Gid,
We rescue roosters. They are amazing birds. I am also vegan. I do not eat anything that lives. I know then people say that plants live but they regrow...they are made for eating.
I lost my lil dog yesterday....I really hope she's waiting for me in heaven 😢😢😢
Edward joute She’s definitely waiting for you in heaven. Just trust in God and you’ll be with her together.

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” ― Will Rogers
I'm with Will on this. I lost my last little sweetheart 44 years ago and there isn't a day that passes that I don't think about her and what a beautiful loving soul she was. She was one of the best Heaven-sent blessings in my life.
I'm with you - It's been 20 years now that my sweet Niki had to be put down. Niki was a beautiful and vibrant yellow lab, and was the most precious thing in my life at the time. Losing her was one of the most painful ordeals I've ever experienced, it was as if her fatal illness came out of nowhere and there was absolutely nothing that could be done to save her. There will never be a day that goes by that I won't miss her deeply.

I totally agree! There's not gonna be any sadness up there & God knows how much we love our cats & dogs. After all, they're his innocent creation.
I agree too! I also agree with what Father Mike said "If you want your pet to be in heaven, you must love God first, and then he might give you back your pet" and also God created humans and pets, and so we must go to heaven somehow. Also, notice the story of Noah's Ark , he took his animals with him, and then they went to heaven, because God created it for us because he wants us to be happy and good! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Father, you did an outstanding job on this subject. My simple take is, God even loves the Sparrow as not one falls to earth without him knowing….if he loves them this much, there must be a place for them in Heaven. All things are possible with God.
My cat passed this morning after 17yrs. I know the hole I feel now is something more than I’d feel if a human family member passed and it has taken a piece of my soul.
I just lost my cat, his name was Mister, this pain is unbearable
I am so sorry. St. Gertrude of Nivelles is the patron saint of cats and those who love them. I hope she helps give you comfort.
I'm so sorry. i can tell you, the pain never ends, it subsides enough to get back into a routine. But life is never the same. When my dog died, I realized that it made facing my own death much easier. If not for other responsibilibites, I would have preferred to be buried with her. Much love and condolences to you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's been 9 months ago but if you're anything like me the pain is still in your heart & probably always will be. I lost my cat Little Britches 2 months ago & he was my dog/cat. He acted like a dog & was SOOO sweet! He'd follow me everywhere. He'd hop in my truck & ride with me. Okay I feel like I'm being kicked in the stomach again. That's just what it felt like the day I found out he died. Take care my friend. God Bless
@@krissijo5538 Yeah, Mister was always an outside cat, climbed trees all the time and would follow me everywhere, I still miss him….
Right before my mother died, our dog who had died before her came to get her. She saw him in the room. We told her to go with him and she did. It only makes sense that my dog came for her as she had no family who died before her that she loved.
💖💔 I am sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful story.
I just lost a pup and I felt so devastated. It pained me no end that she suffered for 3 days and died before my eyes. I'm praying and that when I die my sweet Cara and I will see each other. She left a big whole in my heart😭 she's so lovable and sweetest compared to my older chi ( which I also love dearly). Im longing for her 😢I hope to find a pup as sweet as her but not now that I'm still grieving her loss. It's heartbreaking to hear similar stores of a dear pet leaving this Earth 😢😢it's painful losing a loved one like dogs and cats.

@Juliana Bray I just lost my dog a couple days ago, it was hard, very hard, especially the fact that he died because he was hit by a bike. I started to search for the answer of the question"will my pets go to heaven?", I am so glad that I get the read all these comments, I owed him a sorry, and I will have to see it to him someday when we meet again!
I have had lots of animals in my life and I feel certain they are as individual and unique as humans are. I truly believe they have souls. ❤
They do, and much more loving and kind than so many people.
Most definitely.
That would be cool. I hope lions are in heaven. Friendly, gentle lions! Not lions that will, you know, attack. But I doubt it. On the other hand, if God allows lions, cats and dogs then they will be there. His house, his rules.

My dog since childhood Snowflake passed away 2 years ago, and I had a really hard time processing it.
A few months later I had a random vision of heaven where Snowflake was running through a grassy, green field with sunshine and a large tree behind her. When she had passed, she was blind and very sickly with diabetes, but in this vision I could tell she had healed and was the healthiest I had ever seen her. She ran straight into my arms, and I could somehow communicate with her without either of us opening our mouths, and I understood that she was so content and was so happy to see me, as it had been months since I last saw her (I was away at university).
She told me that she was happy here so there was no reason for me to mourn anymore and that she would see me again soon.
I woke up bawling my eyes out and saw it as confirmation that we would be reunited again in the next life, thanks to the goodness of the Lord. I truly believe this was a vision of heaven, as it was the most beautiful and happy place that I have ever felt in my life, and after waking up I felt I wanted to go back to this place so badly.
I do not see a reason as to why God would not allow animals into heaven, let alone our passed pets, as he is everything that is God and provides us with everything we need and more.

I had a wonderful dog named Snowflake. She was our BEST dog! I believe she is in Heaven as God is good and created her.

My dogs been suffering from heart failure and this morning he was near the end as i held him I could feel him gasping for air and I remember praying to God for peace over him and that very moment he passed. No more pain and heavy breathing. Just peace knowing he was no longer suffering but instead now with Jesus.
This exact thing happened to me yesterday, my baby died in my arms, he was in pain I miss him so much
Andrea Torres i’m so sorry to hear that. we’ll get through this
My cat died of the same
I had the same experience my dog cookie had hart failure i asked god to let her go peacefully with me at home i couldn't bare to see her injected and put to sleep i sat with her all night she looked up at me and gave her last breath and slipped away as hard as it is my little comfort is she was not alone or in pain i buried her at home where we sat each day in the garden the house is so quiet and empty without her greeting each day my only wish is to be at her side again when i pass iam sure heaven has plenty of our pets the purest of all they are the angels sent to us on earth for a short time.
The day before my dad passed, he was talking to beings I could not see. He asked “why are you dressed like that?” while petting then saying “good boy”. It didn’t hit me until after he passed; I believe he was talking to his parents and petting his childhood dog. My cat was there when my dad died. I remember seeing Tiggy looking at my dads body then moved his head like he was following something. Again, I believe Tiggy watched as my dads soul left our house and entered heaven. About a year later, I got a phone call in the evening that my cat was run over, brought to a vet and died around 5 am that morning. I didn’t believe it at first because I SAW my cat in the hallway at 7 am that morning. 2 hrs after he died. I know Tiggy’s spirit came to say goodbye to me before going to heaven. I do believe our pets will be with us in heaven. As I believe love ones will be with us as we die.
I believe this. My dog paid me a visit the night after he died.
if the lion lays with the lamb...those are animals, and the Bible says those two will be there...I believe our pets will be there as well,...in fact they are having a great time now im sure,...waiting for their ppl to come be with them
@@desertdog5397 I agree.

God says that in heavin the lamb will lay with the lion....so obviously he is letting us know that "yes" he has made room for animals to be included in his heavenly kingdom. He also says that knows when even one sparrow falls....sounds to me like god cares very deeply for all of his creations.

My dog just passed away 2 days before my birthday I had him for 8 years he really was my best friend
Unless one has had a relationship with a dog (or cat) they can not understand the profound love, sensitivity, and loyalty experienced. At first we appreciate their cuteness, etc., but then they teach us what great friendship and love really is all about.
Lyn Berger I beg to differ, it has been proven that pets have feelings just as much as humans do. Here are some links:
www.news.nationalgeographic.com
ethology.eu
academic.oup.com
Expression of those feelings can be heavily biased by what we habitually RECOGNISE as expression. Can mean we miss things.

My beloved cat of nearly 16 yrs passed away two days ago. It was so sad watching her die. I begged God for one last summer with her - but only if it was His Will. It was not to be. I buried her in her favourite place in the garden and am so distraught she's gone. She meant so much to me I never realised it. She was always there beside me giving me warmth and comfort. Whenever I prayed and made the sign of the cross she followed my hand movements with her eyes so was also making the sign of the cross. I promised her we'd be together again as she breathed her last....I hope God will grant this. I do love Jesus above all things and hope He has mercy on me. My little angel has returned to heaven, her work done in teaching me patience and unconditional love. I miss her terribly. Rest in peace Willow.

I am a graduate and scholar from the University of Oxford United Kingdom, ranking # 1 in the world as we stand, and I have a masters degree, and Professor in Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies for over 30 years, I understand the original Hebrew, also to include a scholarship in the Traditional Greek( KOINE) language in which Paul spoke and understood. There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23.
To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animals. Do animals have souls?
No. The Bible says that both animals and humans are souls. (Numbers 31:28) When the first man, Adam, was created, he was not given a soul but “became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, footnote) A soul is composed of two things: the “dust from the ground” and “the breath of life.”
Can souls die?
Yes, the Bible teaches that souls can die. (Leviticus 21:11, footnote; Ezekiel 18:20) At death, animals and humans return to the dust of the earth. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) In other words, they cease to exist.
Do animals sin?
No. To sin means to think, feel, or do something that violates God’s standards. In order to sin, a creature must be able to make moral decisions, but animals lack this ability. They usually act according to instinct during their limited life span. (2 Peter 2:12) At the end of their life span, they die, even though they do not sin.
Is animal cruelty acceptable?
No. God gave humans authority over the animals but not the right to mistreat them. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 8:6-8) God cares about the welfare of each animal-including small birds. (Jonah 4:11; Matthew 10:29) He commanded his worshippers to treat animals considerately.-Exodus 23:12; Deuteronomy 25:4; Proverbs 12:10.
Bible verses about animals
Genesis 1:28: “God blessed [the first humans], and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.’”
Meaning: God gave humans authority over the animals.
Numbers 31:28: “As a tax . . . , you should take from the soldiers who went out into the battle one soul out of every 500, of the people, the herd, the donkeys, and the flock.”
Meaning: Both animals and humans are souls.
Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous one takes care of his domestic animals.”
Meaning: Good people care properly for animals, including their pets.
Matthew 10:29: “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.”
Meaning: God notices and cares about animals-even small birds.
Alex- you need to believe with
your heart and not only your
brain. “It is with the heart man
believes unto righteousness.”
You have not read the scriptures
with the right heart attitude. You have to humble yourself and allow
the Spirit of God to reveal the truth
to you. You can’t come at it with
your mind already made up. You
must pray, sincerely and ask God to soften your heart and to teach
you who His animals really are.
Don’t be blind but open the eyes of
your heart.🙏🏻
my pet guinea pig just died yesterday in my arms, i told god, "please take her with your warm hands and play with her in paradise. And also, let her be the first one that will see me when I go to heaven too."
That is the sweetest thing. You must have really loved her. I'm sorry for your loss. What was her name?
I will pray for you
She isn’t a pig though, she is more like a gerbil or a mouse.
mine died today
Mine died yesterday :(
Before my grandfather died he talked to his dead relatives including his dogs that passed. That gave me so much comfort knowing I would see my dogs again.
This gives me hope
❤️
Ah
😓
i hope you will be able to
and me aswell, i want them back
**Here's a cool story: I had 2 bichons. They looked so much alike to strangers, who would always stop me and say "oh they're so cute. They look so much alike. How do you tell them apart?" But as their Mom, I could absolutely tell them apart. Anyhow, this past December, one of them died 💔. Ever since, it's been hard for me to walk the one I still have on the same route I used to walk them bc I keep seeing all the favorite spots to sniff of the one who died. So I started walking my dog a different route. But recently, one evening, I walked the old route and I felt the sadness of missing my dog when I passed those spots. I prayed to Jesus and asked if He could please give my dog who died a hug and a kiss for me and tell him I love and miss him. The very next afternoon, I was walking my dog at a local park. I walked past an older woman on the path. I nodded and said hello. She looked and said "Oh they're so cute! They look so much alike". I almost fell over. I couldn't even speak. I just smiled at her and kept walking, totally stunned. I stayed this way for quite a while. I thanked God bc it was as if He was telling me that he's still somehow with us. The funny thing is that ever since he died, I started walking my dog who's still alive with the other dog's leash bc I missed him. So it was like he was still walking with us, in a way. Anyhow, this woman blew my mind. I thought to myself, "either she's seeing double or my boy is still walking with us". Some things you just cannot explain. But this soothed my heart and I thank God for that. ❤️🙌🙏
Wow! Just beautiful!!! ❤
As a fellow dog lover, I truly understand your pain. Any sign of their presence after their death can be comforting ❤️ I believe God has His hand in this!
Such a beautiful story, witness to the Lord's love and understanding of us. ❤️
Maybe the lady was an angel. What a lovely story.
Wow, thanks for sharing
I just lost my pet rat last night I cried so hard I thought I would pass out I prayed all night please Lord take care of my baby in Jesus name Amen.
Your pet is in heaven ❤️🙏
Dogs are angels, sent to be with us in times of need, there are thousands of examples of dogs appearing at just the right time to save and minister to humans. If the Father knows when a sparrow falls, why would anyone think the Father would forget your beloved pet.
To be honest I find this true, not just with dogs but with animals in general. Me and my “fiancé” got a cat together, well she cheated on me, and actually wanted to take her but I told her I really wanted her. Well I do, and she comforts me and makes me feel so much better, and in just the right time. So in sense I think you’re right.
why do you refuse to see the truth even when put to your face?... because the lie is more comforting, beautiful?... don't fool yourself, for your own sake
Many Saints, as opposed to internet trolls fearful of even ❤using their own names, have written this same idea, Steve.
What about when a pet pitbull tears the face off a little girl? Many such stories. Get over yourself. Humans and animals are not equal.
Dogs aren't angels. Dogs are Dogs. Angels are Angels. God gave you a dog.
Recently held my 16 year old dog who died in my arms. I was aware of her last breath, aware of the love she had given me, the pain she endured at the end, an example to me. She and the other pets and loves of my life have helped me to love God better, to understand unquestioning love ...better. She will always be part of my soul ......the lessons she taught, the comfort she brought, the concept that real love, as in Gods love, remains in spite of our sins and failures. Do I love her more then God, no, but I do love God more because she was in my life.....without a doubt.
I would be depressed If that happened sorry for your lost
i'm so sorry that you had to go through that i bet she lived a happy life
Diane Alden that is very touching
Diane Alden you are so lucky. My Flossie died August 15. While I was in the VA Hospital. I would have gladly given the rest of my life to have been there with her. I will always feel like I let her down.
Diane Alden Jesus loves animals
My dog is in heaven (: I have seen him with my grandma and Jesus. See you in Paradise
Wow ❤that gives me so much confort like actually
My little dog Madison died last year. A few months later I was sitting on the edge of my bed praying before going to sleep. I saw Madison standing on the edge of my bed. I used to let her sleep on my bed. She was well groomed. Her hair was long like a Maltese's hair is usually kept but I always had her coat cut short. I believe pets go to heaven because they are God's creation. I hadn't even considered the question before this happened.
I've been reading a book called "cold noises at the pearly gates" it opened my eyes. It talks a lot about scriptures and enough evidence to support the theory of us see our pets in heaven.
I personally truly believe I will see my Dog when it's my time. When he passed, so many unexplainable events happened. It felt like a sign telling me he was ok and not to worry.
I agree God wants us to love him more then life itself. And I admit I have put my pet before God before. I'm learning not to do that when we adopt another little dog.
I personally believe God sends little angels in disguise to help us become closer to God. Our pets are pure souls and I feel like they understand things of the unknown more then we ever will on earth. Which is why their not meant to be on this earth for too long. Their here to teach us and then when their job is done, they returned home to Heaven.

Beautiful words...our pets that have passed share in Heaven waiting to reunite wth them.!
It's all part of GOD'S plan.❤️️🐶😺🦁🐼🐰🐴🐒
This is so true..
Well put.

So true my friend. And oh the lessons my Shadow taught me!! I just don't know how to live without her now. She was my soul mate. ❤❤
There Angles got sent them to teach us unconditional love
The Bible says, “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11, NKJV). We can trust God that includes our beloved pets...
Diana Gascon last time I checked walking upright is what ppl do animals walk on all fours bad example lol sry but you said it so I guess the animals perish........
Technicalities.
Douglas Gilmore animals are good because they are God's creation so they will always be our companions
Diana Gascon ...Amen 👏👏
Thank you for this.
Father Mike someone once said " until one has loved a little animal a part of their soul remains asleep."
this is certainly true in my case. My cat Mojo softened me and made me a better person. he died a week ago. Ill never be the same without him. he was the first animal that loved me above any one or anything else in the world. it hurts so bad without him.
@@JakeIannarino mine passed away a few hours ago and I can't with this pain. Her name was, is and forever will be Bicho. She taught me how to be loved unconditionally. She picked me to be her human and was by my side giving me comfort tru really hard times, now she's gone I honestly don't know how to live without her in my life. May she rest in peace in the heaven she earned. I will always love her.
@@Marijo221 i will say a prayer for her tonight. people say the pain will pass in time, but it hasn't for me. I am so sorry for your loss. God sometimes sends us teachers in the form of animals. they are not pets, they are family. what was her name?
@@Marijo221 oh, I just reread your comment. I will be saying a prayer for little Bicho.
@@JakeIannarino thank you
I lost my dog today but I think it was fast
Princessita was beautiful and happy, she was my "little baby" what I called her. She made me very happy even through those dark days. She was with us through 2 movings. Her little puppy eyes.
I loved her so much and I'll pray with all my heart that ill see my princesita there.
I love my baby and ill see you in heaven
❤❤❤🐶
I lost my beautiful chocolate lab today. She died trying to please us. She was blind had diabetes and started having heart failure and was still waging her tail. We knew it was time. I love my dog lexi so much and I hope Jesus takes good care of her and hopefully I can see her again someday through the lord.
read KJV Rev 22 and you will see who will make it to heaven it has to be KJV
❤🐾❤🐾❤
So sorry.
So sorry for your loss. You will see her again one day. Until then I know you'll always carry her in your heart and her memory will love on with you 🥰
You’ll see her again bro. Hold fast to the Lord always. ♥️
"Dog" spelt backwards is " God" and they both give unconditional love.
Amen!!!
Amen to this👏👏👏👏
And dogs actually exist!
Racecar spelled backwards is racecar and they both have racecar drivers to race the racecar in races.

We lost our beloved cat Sunny today after adopting him almost 16 years ago; it was so painful. My kids grew up with him. My eldest daughter held him for over an hour after he passed. I pray that God lets us see him in heaven🙏
I PRAY my dog will be in heaven ! he has been a true blessing to me, when all people and family members have walked away, my baby boy is with me and he has filled my heart with so much love.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened....Anatole France.
I actually believe there is some truth in that statement.
Chelsea Dottellis!
This is why I'm vegan. I love ALL animals and can cause no harm to any of them.
God created everything so God takes all His creation back to Him.
absolutely,so if god screwed up,then faults with us then its his is fault,i think.he cannot put us here in his own likeness and then abandon us.and also all our loved ones,with two legs or four.
The love we feel for our pets is only a taste of Gods love! 😍 I yearn for heaven on a daily basis. People giggle at the way I describe the deep desire I have to be there. I cannot wait, with every inch of my being and the joy and excitement that comes from me at just the thought is indescribable. I don’t need my pet to be there, but I believe all my pets will be with me in eternity simply because of all the love! We will be SO filled with Gods love that nothing else will even matter - but with that amount of love for our pets I feel would be Gods way of just loving us all the more.
I just lost my dog of 12 yrs, 3 days ago and the only consolation I have for my broken heart is picturing Jesus welcoming her in and her running and playing in beautiful fields, filled with blissful love!
Prayers for everyone grieving their pets! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️ They are truly a blessing from God!
I lost my dog week ago its very hard . So painfull. I think Jesus knows this and will see him when i go.
What a beautiful message 💕💕💕 bless your heart 🙏
Oh for sure Jesus receives our pets.... because He once told me that He gave us HIS precious pets for our comfort..... So they are His babies first!! I have had visions and proof that He personally received all my passed pets.
This made me cry. I miss my five dogs.
They are romping in Heavenly
meadows…🙏🏻
Our family dog of 17 years recently died, and believing he's in Heaven being petted and loved by God is heartwarming! ❤️
And waiting for you!
Don’t you recognize angels when you see them.
I did when I saw her face. My kitty was the very best part of me. I just lost a few hours ago and I'm in such a deep pain. May she rest in the heaven she earned.
YES! :)
Love this. Yes, our beloved pets are our angels.
Maria, I am so sorry. I pray you are doing better. Losing a pet is so painful. Sending love your way.
@@kericaswell6084 I miss her every day, but I'm doing better. Thank you.
My cat appeared to me when she died .. she spoke to me and told me we would be friends forever!. I discovered her body later. I had no idea she was sick or elderly so I am sure that all of God's creatures..our pets, have souls and are part of His glorious plan.
I really do hope to see my dog again. The love I have for her is wild. She passed away yesterday and it was one of the saddest days of my live,I have lost some family members but the pain of losing my dog is truly a little worse. I have realized that sometimes losing someone only brings you closer to God
We lost our 18 year old cat, Riley, yesterday. I sure hope he will be waiting for us in Heaven.
Jesus will make you a new cat in heaven.

@@marymills5060 love you Mary
I don’t think I’ll “need” my pet in order to be happy in Heaven. I’ll be happy there regardless. However, the idea of pets going to Heaven is a separate concept. I think it needs to be looked at from a new perspective that is not tied to us “needing” them there. I firmly believe animals have souls and the energy that leaves their body does not just disappear when they die. God’s love is non-discriminatory. He loves all of his creatures.
@ Anthea Fisher: A Priest once told me that there is a special place in Heaven for our pets and what ever God creates he never destroys. So, you see, our pets are in a special place in Heaven and we will see them someday. Don't worry, and God Bless you🙏💖
@@richardturner6981 - That place your Priest was talking about is called "Rainbow's Bridge". Essentially, Rainbow's Bridge is an other-worldly place where pets go upon death, where they are to eventually be reunited with their owners. God is so good. ❤️
Totally agree with you! My cat’s passing confirmed me that spirits/souls exist and they are SO POWERFUL. Personally believing in them going to heaven gives me peace thinking that they are being taken care of, that they are in a happy place and they are not lost in space. When she left all I asked was for her to be safe and happy. I didn’t think of seeing her again in heaven at that moment, I just wanted the best for her ❤️
I don't see animals as people and I've taken care of plenty of people that went through the dying process in healthcare. I held my sweet little sickly cat as they euthanized her to put her out of her misery. It just happened to be her birthday too not that it was planned at all. I still cry about it on and off the last few years. I'm a poor catholic and I can't see someone like me that doesn't have any kids and as much joy they brought me, companionship, lessons on life and loving something unconditionally even if it means letting them go back to the earth that they don't have purpose in creation. Whatever animated that kitty maybe different then what is in humans when they die, but energy, life leaves them regardless, and I don't think it's destroyed. So if animals don't have a place after death I at least comfort myself that whatever animated her wasn't destroyed it went somewhere.
@@anorien1 I’m sorry for you loss😔. I can confirm you that kitties (and probably all animals) have spirits and they live on after their body dies. I had the most surreal experience 1 day after my cat’s passing. I can’t say if it was really a dream cuz it was different from the other dreams I had after that incident. She visited me and I saw 2 big hands carrying her upward as she disappeared. And then an energy wave covered me from head to toe, I could feel it flowing into every blood vessel in my body. It also delivered 3 messages: I’m safe, don’t cry too much and don’t blame yourself. It really calmed me down and made me feel safe. The energy was so powerful that I couldn’t move for a few seconds and after I woke up, I could still feel this energy in my body. I was NOT religious when this happened, but a Christian friend did say a prayer for my cat over the phone cuz she happened to call me right before I brought my cat to the vet. I did say Amen and was/still am grateful of her. I AM a believer now thanks to my cat. So many amazing things happened after she left and it can’t be just a coincidence. God loves everything he created on Earth including our beloved pets ❤️
Retired protestant minister here----that was a great answer Father Mike.
If the lion is going to lie down with the lamb, maybe the dog will lie down with the cat.
Lost my dog yesterday. Can't stop crying, I miss him :'( I really hope I'll see him again 💔😭
I just lost my cat and I can’t stop crying either! You’re not alone
I'm so sorry about your dog. In Psalm 50 vs 10 & 11 The Bible says, for every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine.
Clearly God is taking ownership of the creatures that He put on the earth. I do not believe God will abandon these beautiful animals that He created. I most definitely believe you will see your dog again. Blessings.. Don
🥺💖💖
me too on wednesday
i rly hope you can see him again and most of all be with him again
this is what i want for my lost dogs and me
i WANT to be with them again for the rest of time
I'm so sorry for your loss....yes you will see your furball when you pass on...God would not abandon the beautiful,loyal,loving creatures that He created for our pleasure!!! His love for us has no bounds....God recognizes the love we have for our furbabies...Just imagine God and His Son playing with our furbabies,no hurts,no pain and God will walk them to the pearly front gate to reunite you with His loving creatures!!! God Bless You and be patient....I too I'm waiting...mine an all black cat named "TRUMPY",PUT TO SLEEP 8/17/22. Weeping!!!

My sweet baby passed away a while back. Her and I were as close as conjoined twins. Truly. She helped me through some real hard times. She helped me find God. I’ve always loved God but. She was the driving force that got me baptized. I said “if I’m ever going to see her in heaven, I need to be baptized”. For that alone, I think she should be in heaven. But there is much more that I think says animals are in heaven. So much more that I’d probably have to make 23 comments just to get my point across. By saying that animals aren’t in heaven is limiting God. If there is grass in heaven, why wouldn’t my beloved pets be there, too?
I had a very similar experience, the only difference is that I was baptized as a child but it was my dog who got me closer to him, and now she is gone. I am in a mix of emotions
read KJV Rev 22 and you will see who will make it to heaven
Have you ever noticed what you get when you spell the word "dog" backward? Best believe that is not a coincidence. The absolute unconditional love that dogs are capable of giving to their humans reflects the same selfless, sacrificing, and truest form of unconditional love that God has for us. All I know is that there is no other being on this earth that deserves heaven more than dogs do.
My 13 year old Niko passed 3 days ago. I am heartbroken, my husband talked to me that we need to keep it together for our kids. We go outside since I can't stay inside anymore and we spot a cloud that looked just like him! His tail, ears, little legs everything perfectly shaped! That was a sign from him, telling me that's hes happy and he wants me to be happy! I feel peace in my heart. And I know with time I will heal
If you’ve ever had a pet then you probably have this knowing deep down inside of you that they are there. 🙏
When I was watching my cat be euthanized, the moment his soul left his body it was very apparent. His eyes were an empty void and I couldn’t stand to be in the room any longer with his vessel. His soul went somewhere and I just know he’s waiting for me. Before we even went to the vet, I told him to wait for me to come back. I told him that we will see each other again. And when his soul left, he went somewhere. He didn’t just disappear into nothingness.
His soul never left his body, but it never had one...🤦♂️c'mon I mean...seriously

I totally beleive that they will. My 16 month old saw my dog olive flying around her head.After olive died in the middle of the night , we were in the living room in the morning and I was just so sad and My daughter was playing and all the sudden she yelled “puppy puppy!” And was pointing at the ceiling and giggling and spinning to see the dog up there . Then again when we were outside she pointed to the sky and told me puppy puppy . I had told her nothing about the dog dying and she was too young to understand anyways .
Every animal I have ever had was absolutely sent by God. Every one of those animals has a soul, you can see it in their eyes and by the affection they show. I don't believe the God I love would leave out the animals. And if I can't be reunited with them in Heaven? I'm not sure I want to go anyplace where animals aren't allowed, even heaven.
The same here!
❤❤❤
That's exactly what I wanna say！

I know my soul went with her when she left. I prayed for God to take me instead and give my life to her, but I watched her pass right before my eyes. It ripped my life apart. We did everything together, went everywhere together. I just don't know how to live now without her.

Yes all animals go to heaven.
God our father made all the animals and he made a place for them to go when they pass away.
I watched this today, the day that we our dog put down. I just cannot imagine that God would give us these sweet beings and have connection completely leave when they leave. The view of St. Thomas discounts so much. Where does St. Francis out Patron Saint of Animals fall into all of this?
Its hard to believe that a creature who shows so much emotion doesn't have a soul. I believe they do have a soul and will greet you in heaven.
I have The New Scofield Study BIble and it says (Genesis (1:24) "In the sense of conscious life an animal also has a soul" so it is comforting to know that our beloved pets that has given us unconditional love that has passed, that we will see them in heaven and they will be there to greet us.
ok i wish animals can go to heaven that would be great unfortunately animals dont have souls so its not possible fo animals can go to heaven humans can go because we have a soul but for animals its not possible unless they do have one and god is only coming back for humans not animals but it really wish animals can go trust me it would be great

A possum? Lol just no
Many near death experiences share the same common denominator that people are reunited with their pets ❤️❤️❤️
That is how we can tell that NDE stories are scams, lvluxdelight.
I had a beautiful tabby cat who was in my family for nearly 20 years, and she passed away late July of 2021. I will never forget how deeply I cried for her that day. I have a black cat with a single black spot at the nape of his neck, so I hugged him for comfort. My sister and I didn't want to get another cat, we didn't want to think about it, but a co-worker of mine insisted I give the cat on my profile picture a chance, so I did. I know my tabby cat is okay now, I too have asked God, and Jesus to hug her, and tell her that I love her. As for the new cat, I am so glad I gave this sweet girl a loving home. I have a feeling she was abandoned because when I put her in the carrier to take her to the vet she wails with sadness, and I tell her that I am not leaving her, and that she is mine.
MY DOG OF 15 YEARS MY BABY WHEN SHE DIED A LARGE PART OF ME DIED WITH HER I CRIED LIKE A BABY THEN N 20 YEARS LATER I STILL CRY WHEN I LOOK AT PICTURES OF HER I CRIED LIKE A BABY I HOPE SHES UP THERE WHEN THE FATHER CALLS ME
AMEN
Richard Hudak, God knows our heart and also remember St Antonio of Assisi and St Martin de Porres they love animals and I'm sure that they pray to God in heaven for our beloved pets. My 4 year old dog who is my baby has kidney failure and I'm praying for a miracle and I know that those two Saints are also praying for her. God bless you.
Just lost my 15 yr old. I'm shattered.
Feel u
God bless you.
Richard Hudak love is forever...
"Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has the heart of man conceived, (in our collective wildest imagination) what God has prepared for those for those who love Him."
Amen!!
Jesus, I Trust in You.
Jim, do you want to scratch Jesus's belly?
My beloved companion dog of almost 16 years passed away a few weeks ago. I know I will see her again. She embodied the Christ-like life embodying unjudgemental love.
I want everybody in heaven
So does God

15 “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
I think he meant dogs as in bad people
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim That's why we catholics don't believe only by scripture
@@bluepoop7365 what are you trying to imply
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Love this ❤
Love this!
My niece, born with the ability to see or speak to spirits, as it is in my mother's side of the family, at around 5 yes old, loved my grandmother so much, she would be taken to visit her very often. One day, they took her to visit to let her know that she had passed away. In the elevator, on the way to her condo, suddenly, it stopped, and lost power. The lights went out. Just for second. When they came back on, my niece was staring at the floor. My parents and sister called her. Getting her attention, feeling that something was.. "off". She suddenly said, in Spanish, "my grandmother has passed away.." of course, this left them stunned. Then she continued," she is up in heaven, and she is playing with cosmo.." this brought EVERYONE to tears.. she had never met cosmo. She didn't know who he was at the time. My grandmother never got close to him, cause he was my dog my dalmatian. A big dog that kinda made her feel nervous being around him, lol. To me, and to my family, this can't be disputed. This is proof of the perfection of heaven. God keeps it secret to surprise us with such wonders we can't even imagine, because even the colors up there don't exist on this good earth.. this event always brings me to tears everytime I remember it, lol 🥲...
You said it so well….thank you….” I will make all living things new again”…..thank you Jesus🌷
I was working at a nursing home years ago and a resident who coded but the doctors and nurses were able to revive him. Anyways being old and senile man he was, he told me once that God loves his animals and has a special place for them. ❤️ 🙏
How come he wasn’t DNR?
The Book of Wisdom says that God loves all that He created and if He didn't love it He wouldn't have created it. I may have some quarrels with God over things like ticks and mosquitoes, but there are several furbabies I hope to cuddle again in, say, 40 years.
Yes, all the pets I've had will be waiting for me when I get there.
For myself heaven wouldn't be heaven without my pet children. Animals are innocent creatures who do not sin. All species suffer so much here on earth. I have to believe they also like us can experience great joy and love in heaven after death.
jbowen828 you missed the point
jbowen828 I believe that also. Our God is good and merciful.
Same here. We think of the animals we love and had the fortune of having a great life. What about those who suffer and know no love? Is that the only experience they have? I cannot believe any decent God would allow that to happen.
Kayla Lee like humans , sometimes they are better than humans unfortunately.
Kit g Yet they don't have Jesus they can't be forgiven they don't have souls and can't have the Holy Spirit. If you have the love of your pet you mine as well come out and say you love the world...
Our dog drowned yesterday in our pool. He was 10 yrs old and super healthy. Our family’s heart is breaking. I turn to faith to find answers.
