Pets in Heaven

Dear Victorious,

Do dogs or cats go to heaven?

Dear Charlene,

No, they don't. In the beginning, God created man (and woman) in His own (spiritual) image. The only beings that get into heaven are those that God created for that purpose --- basically angels and people. No other created beings are spiritual beings. When they die, they die. There is no such concept as eternal life for any animals.
