Do dogs go to heaven?

There was a thread on this aaaaaaages ago in the christianity forum. Could have sworn the consensus was no.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Animals do, people don't

Chin up OP. I'm sure you gave him a great life and take some comfort in that.

Only dogs who believe in the one true God.

Maybe they go to the heaven of one of the other true religions so?

Don't know, but monkeys do...

...just ask The Pixies...

If there is a heaven and dogs don't go there. I don't want to go.

That nearly made me cry, and I'm a dude.

fatmammycat · 07-04-2011 12:15PM

I must have a heart made of stone, but that mawkish rainbow bridge crap makes me sick. Dogs, like people, die, that's it, the end. If they were lucky they lived a good life with decent owners who cared for them and treated them well.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Most dogs are already in heaven. They sit around all day, eating, drinking and licking their balls, not a care in the world.

Cookie_Monster · 07-04-2011 01:09PM

no, they don't. Dogs aren't stupid enough to believe in such a concept as heaven

prinz · 07-04-2011 01:59PM

Right I am going to assume the OP's pet just died and I can't believe there are so many sad gits about who think they're going to be a smartarse by saying heaven doesn't exist ha ha ha. Doesn't matter if it exists or not. If you don't want to post, don't post.

smokedeels · 07-04-2011 02:05PM

We should do a whip-around and buy him a similar looking pet, tell him it rose from the dead....tell him his cat is Jesus, he'll dress it in robes and all will be right with the world.

What if you want to post to say Heaven doesn't exist?

I want to hear Jackass' opinion on the matter, with Bible quotes if possible.

Only if they sound like Burt Reynolds. Saw it in a documentary once

kylith · 07-04-2011 03:45PM

If there is a heaven then dogs are most definitely there. In fact I'd say that it's mostly dogs, because most dogs > humans.

Do dogs go to heaven?
