Will also go to heaven even If the dog is a pit bull that killed 2 babies? My thoughts also.

Unfortunately, I expect I'll be in a considerably hotter place. Please, do not even joke about that! I do not want you there. See tag.

Try me. I will give you my address. If you hate God or His animals...I will snap you neck. And just what/who is your god?
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19)

In this regards, I do AGREE with Pope Francis on animals going to Heaven.Is that just the dogs we love, or all dead dogs thru-out history??? And squirrels??? And skunks??? And all those buffalo which were killed a century and a half ago???
Dinosaurs, so many birds you won't be able to see in front of you...And just think of all the resurrected mosquitoes...

Without any biblical support whatsoever.Bible??? What's the bible got to do with Catholic theology??? Their theology is philosophy (man's half-baked logic)...

There is a spiritual price to pay for consuming the flesh of innocent, meek and defenseless animals - dogs, cats, cows pigs, fish, chickens - Dogs? Cats? Pigs? Chickens? Defenseless?
Clearly you weren't raised on a farm.

Not to mention all the insects I have murdered (mosquitoes, flies, etc) over the years ... dont know if I want to share eternity with them. ;-) No. They'll be in hell where they're increase the eternal torment.

Show me scripture wherein animals sinned. Where did they bite the apple Which requires defining sin and culpability, and the consequence of it. An interesting theological question to be reasoned out. To sin does not require "eating the apple" (though Gn. 3 does not say what kind of fruit it was), as angels sinned before that. But the point is that animals do not have inherited sin (not that i see infants culpable of this), which at length leads to the certitude of actual sin in the morally culpable.
But as being under the curse, the wolf and the lamb do not feed together well, and while "sin is the transgression of the law," (1Jn. 3:4) that applies toward those who are under the law.
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. (Romans 3:19)
While the Law was given to men, yet dogs are under the law of their master who indirectly enforces aspects of that law and which dogs can break. But they would not be culpable of actual sin unless they could choose otherwise. Yet i think dogs (whom i have found memories of) can seem to express guilt over doing what they know was wrong, and may face punishment by them.
So in principle we may say a dog can do wrong, but not having a God consciousness (worship is an activity peculiar to man), even repressed as with many man, then they were never guilty of disobedience to Him and facing judgment accordingly. Nor are they treated as having eternal spirits, or mentioned in teaching on the resurrection and being rewarded.
Thus while dogs may be culpable to their masters for choosing to do wrong, they face no eternal punishment, and while animals do not now evidence a God consciousness, and are not mentioned as spirits going to Heaven as with man upon death, or being in the bodily resurrection, yet all creation will one day praise the Lord, and with God all things are possible, if not being contrary to His word.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. (Revelation 5:13)

Even my cat, Clint, has submitted to some discipline and shows some feline love. Miracles do happen.

...trying to get the guy to take the right fork, the dog kept wanting to go on the left one ... towards Heaven ... Ecclesiastes 10:2
A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.
