I don't know about pets but my beloved cats had better be there (one already there, the other -- 22 yo! -- sadly will someday be there), or I ain't going!

IIRC the Catholic Church doctrine (Dogma?) says animals don't have souls. Can anyone clariy this? It has been too many years since CCD.

Nobody knows. It would seem that, if being reunited with a beloved pet contributes to one's eternal happiness, then that pet would be there.

It's not an unreasonable hope that we will see our loyal friends again.

Dogs have souls, but not immortal souls.

As a Lab owner, I can't see nothing for our pets, but from what I have read, pets will not be there. But I doubt that God would condemn our pets to nothingness.
