'Dog don't have souls'. . .I think whomever worked on the original translation - got it wrong. Probably never had a dog; and not a clue; and may have been bitten when a child/lol.

(That said; do we imagine a heaven without the beauties - gifts - of Nature? We could offer that 'trees, flowers et al do not have souls; but we certainly expect to enjoy these 'enhancements' in an afterlife. Seems reasonable - rational to believe in an enriched animal kingdom as well.)

Think whatever 'God' created; there is a sharing of DNA-like, God consciousness. . .and do not think it rejected or ignored post mortem.

Probably a bit more complicated than that; or more simple; but in a 'few words or less' it works for me. And perhaps, it might work for others who question. And if there is 'NO Question' and it works for 'others'; that is fine too.

We will all figure it out; in the 'sweet by and by'. . .or not-so-sweet; as the case may be/lol.

what wonderfully angry people these parishoners must be to even put up a sign like that!
