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.

Nobody knows.

Yep. That pretty much covers it. We can speculate but the Bible is pretty much silent on the subject.

Sinky, this is what purgatory is for: to help us let go of attachments that compete with God. I'll grant you this much, that our pets will live in our hearts, and that being more alive in heaven than we'll ever be in this life, their life in our hearts will be part of this.
