While souls are uniquely human, animals are imbued with a spirit.

This is an excellent point! Someone on this thread asked whether angels ever take animal form. Recall that in Scripture, Satan (a fallen angel) takes the form of a serpent. Also, when Jesus commands Legion (a group of fallen angels who are demons) out from a possessed man, they ask to be sent into the nearby group of swine. The swine jump off a cliff and drown.

I have read so many stories of animals going to extraordinary lengths to save the life of humans. There is even the story of a rescue dog who would scour the local neighborhood saving the lives of cats. Anyone who has ever had a faithful pet has experienced the joy that comes from their pet's affection. Who is not moved by looking into the deep, dark, brown pools of a dog's eyes.
