Pet owners worldwide, including CFP’s beloved pet Yorkie, ‘Yankee’, can attest by the millions that Fidos have already found Heaven on Earth.
The pithy posts of Father John T. Zuhlsdorf (Father Z) are among my favourite on the Internet. Just as I tune in on my much-admired friend Father Paul Nicholson’s inspiring homilies, I read Fr. Z’s blog most every day.
Catholic convert Jimmy Akin of Jimmy Akin blog fame is no slouch when it comes to setting the record straight either.
In time for Christmas 2014, visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, has been replaced by visions of Fido floating felicitously on heavenly clouds.

Well where did you think all the cats were going?
If fido goes to heaven, and fluffy the cat goes to hell, what about all those chickens I’ve eaten? And the cows? The horror! And pigs?
No.
Pets never took the “fall” in the garden of Eden.
They were created “good” and they’ve stayed “good” in God’s eyes... (excepting probably my cat, but that’s another story).
I posted the correction on Facebook since two of my “friends” who are obsessive about dogs posted what was first attributed to Francis by the NYT. I got some hostile pushback from my SIL who I don’t believe likes me much anyway, like I really had anything to do with what the Pope said or didn’t say. I responded that while I would be glad if (certain) of my dogs were in heaven I was going there to be with my God not with my dogs. That really p*ssed her off. Sigh.
“No.

How does one know one way or the other? I would love to hear someone explain to a chinese farmer that their dog is good and will go to heaven but they will roast in hell.
I knew when I saw the headline that someone would say that pretty quick. Cats are going to hell for sure. Heh.
I would like to see the scripture supporting this claim.
The chinese farmer will be roasting his dog before then.
Romans 8, say’s you are right.
Crows came from hell, and go back to hell.
When ETs scan a planet to see if it’s been subject to a destructive rip in the time/space continuum because of a previous war or catastrophe, they look for crows.
So does Ceiling Cat.
Personally I don’t see why dogs and cats can’t be in heaven. That would be heaven in my eyes.
No, all cats go to hell...except for one of my neighbor’s.
an old buddy used the expression “little doggies in Hell want ice water, too” as a metaphor for wishful thinking
Do animals read the same Bible we do?
Do Aliens (the little green/grey men) read the same Bible we do? I know for a fact, based on Twilight Zone, the Aliens have a VERY different Bible.
Anyway, God gives us the abiblity to have choices. Based on how we choose to live we can end up in Heaven or Hell. Same goes for animals. We have a choice to have them with us whether we end up in Heaven or Hell. It is our personal choice whether we want our pets with us.
How's that for an answer?
