Rollins'/Hero story:'Saved' tells touching stories of humans' connection to pets
There is too much genuine wonder imbued by God the creator into the creation to let things spill over beyond even the freest theological reasoning into the new age, but maybe that’s just “cold hearted” me. Where the bible is silent I can’t presume to speak. But — how can I put it delicately enough? — God has a better place for departed saints than to have them schlepping around in animals for a little while. That wouldn’t be an exaltation at all. I’d consider it annoying if it happened to me (hey, I get to eat Alpo now!)
