Animals, unlike man, are not fallen creatures... they continue just as God had made them and ordered them ...
Augustine said “The trace of the Trinity is found in every creature” (De Trinitatae VI).
Aquinas indicated that animals live in heaven.He said “ It would seem that the souls of brute animals are subsistent. For man is of the same genus as other animals therefore the souls of animals are subsistent”. (ST Q 75, Art 3)
Pope John Paul II believed animals have souls and therefore will live in eternity
Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, St. Francis of Assisi, Dr. Albert Schweitzer support the belief that animals have souls and a place in Heaven.
Personally I hope to see all my beloved pets there as well as to enjoy the songs of praise from the birds singing
nicely said
