My little Maltese, Madison died and one evening I was praying while sitting on the side of my bed. All of a sudden I saw Madison standing up on the bed just like she used to do so that I would place her on my bed. She had long hair typical of Maltese but I used to keep her hair short. Her coat was also spotless. She kept looking at me as she stood there. I was absolutely shocked to see her and grateful feeling she had come back to let me know she was doing very well and was being taken care of.

We buried our precious Casper in our backyard wrapped in a bright blue cloth. As we put the last shovelful of dirt on his grave the bells of the local church pealed out the Ave Maria.💕💙🙏🏻

I hope animals are in heaven, not only because i want to be there with them. But primarily because i just think God loves His creatures so much enough for them to be there too! Any pet owner catches a glimpse of the Father's love for all of His creatures ❤️ Great video, father!

Our dog acts like my husbands guardian angel. He alerts me when he’s ill or fallen down. We are both seniors and have had many dogs we’ve loved, but Charlie is the only one who’s acted like this! Can’t help thinking that this rescue dog was in Gods plan.

It's not that I couldn't be happy without my pets in heaven, it's that they deserve to be with Jesus far more than I do!

It was once told to me that God gave us pets to bring happiness and joy on earth. Why then would He not allow them to bring us happiness and joy in Heaven? I might add, being a dog person; They do not care if you're rich or poor, young or old and always stand by your side . They always know when you had a bad day or when you are sick and always forgive us when we get angry at them. Notice too how dogs assist us here on earth. They help the blind see and the deaf hear. Even now they can sniff out cancer and other ailments. All they want is our unconditional love. Spell dog backwards!

Father, thank you for explaining this. I think that through God, anything is possible.

Animals are so innocent. I truly believe they are here as little angels for us. They are so beautiful. God, I do not believe, would extinguish them.

[keithunderwood]

Animals were the first on Noah's Ark. So yes! God made and loves our PETS!

[gimpyjwilliams]

They will be in heaven at peace. God loves all of his creatures and they will all share in the glory of eternity with him.

[recman]

I do not worry about such things....Let God be God....if they are there great. If not, will it matter to us who long to be with Christ.

I believe Lola will be in heaven and she will happy there. She's been here for 23 years as a cat. I will miss the day after Wednesday when she passes away

[Emily_Paris]

I was told pets are gifts from heaven. I strongly believe that because my pets loved me unconditionally and were always by my side when I was having a rough day. They would bring joy in my life. I miss them soooo much. Soon, I will see them again. The Bible does mention animals in heaven. What beauty heaven holds…. I can’t even imagine.

Oh, thank you for this, Fr. Chris!! You are so reasonable, so compassionate. Thank you for taking on a rather difficult, and definitely emotional subject! The way I approach this is to cling fast to Jesus--He knows how I have loved my pets. No facile answer is ok. But He will sort it all out perfectly. That is not perhaps good reasoning or serious Church clarity but it is real turning to, trusting Him.

I always said that GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, therefore, if I went to Heaven, and if I asked him to see my Prince, our Loving Father will have me see him. ☺️. Rocky is very cute, Fr. Alar. Treasure your memories . 🙂

My cat Dexter passed away last night and I'm heartbroken. I can't stop crying knowing I will never see him again. But, I do like to think that there is a special place in heaven for all beloved pets and God's angels will care for them. . ❤🙏

God revealed to me after much deep prayer that as the animals were adoring Baby Jesus in the manger, so likewise my English Setter Belle is adoring Jesus now.

Thank you dear Father for thiVery wonderful talk I’ve loved many animals over the years and miss each one of them I always felt that they were gods children are present from him so I loved what you had to say

God made animals and they are good. He won’t cast them aside in heaven.
