God “spoke” creation into existence. He said “let there be” and each animal kind was created.
He shaped a handful of creation into man and “breathed” His life into it.
Humans and animals are fundamentally different. There may “be” animals on the new Earth created after the final war but animals do not have souls.
I have no doubt my golden had a soul; when I returned from a business trip she would moan - deeply, continuously, from the depths....of her mortal soul.
I would love to see her again, but God created us in His image, not animals. He saw fit to give them a soul. While mortal, it was enough to draw me closer to God.
