Sorry to hear you have had to make this sad decision Joe. It’s never easy, because we want to have them with us for as long as we possibly can. Prayers for Ranger, and for you. I truly believe that we will see our old friends when we leave this earth. God wouldn’t create such noble, and loving critters without giving them a soul.
Of course DOGS have a soul, most of them are better than human souls.
If according to scripture they don’t, I want to go where they go when they die.
