My dog died a few days ago and I prayed to God and asked him if my beloved dog went to heaven. I haven't got an answer yet or maybe I have everyone I know said she went to heaven and maybe he is trying to commincate with me through other people. But then I read about it and people say dogs don't go to heaven? Why would God not let dogs go to heaven? They show love all the time, and God loves all his creations so why wouldn't dogs go to heaven? People say dogs have no souls.... but if a dog didn't have a soul why do they love u even after u yelled at them for peeing on the floor? It just doesn't add up. I really hope I'll see my dog in heaven one day.

Do dogs go to heaven?
Verified answer
To understand the answer to this qn, you need to understand the reason why some people go to heaven. The bible answers this question for you.....
Revelation 5:10 says: "and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth."
So that begs the question, who are they ruling over? The bible answers:
(Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth.
(Psalm 37:11) But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
Here the bible shows us that Heaven has a purpose and so to does the earth. People will exist in heaven to rule with Christ and others will live on a paradise earth. While this time is not yet, the bible promises that there will be peace between humans and animals. Wild and domestic animals will feed together. Even a little child will have nothing to fear from animals that are now dangerous.—Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25.
While Christs ransom sacrifice is for obedient mankind, he has promised that he will satisfy the hand of every living thing. Dead loved ones will be restored to life with the prospect of never dying. All those sleeping in death who are in God’s memory will be brought back to life. In fact, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29.
This is just a small sample of what is to occur in the near future for those awaiting God's Kingdom. I too love my pets dearly and while the bible does not refer to animals being in heaven, it does for the earth. From the bible we can see those living on earth will enjoy an abundance of animal life. Just think of a time that will come when you can pat a tiger or even a wolf! The whole earth will become a paradise. Lovely new homes and gardens will occupy land that had once been ruined by sinful humans. (Isaiah 65:21-24; Revelation 11:18). I certainly hope I will see you there!
All dogs go to Heaven
The Bible does not teach that the earth is merely a temporary home where we await death and a subsequent afterlife in heaven. The Bible makes clear that death was never a part of God’s original purpose for humans. Consider:
God told the first human couple: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth.” (Genesis 1:28) Earth was to be man’s permanent home, where he could live forever. Death would come to the first man and woman only if they disobeyed God. Sadly, they chose to disobey.—Genesis 2:17; 3:6.
The disobedience of that first man resulted in death, not only for himself and his wife but also for their offspring. (Romans 5:12) Did that leave the human race without hope?
The Bible says that “there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise.” * (2 Peter 3:13) By means of his Kingdom, God will restore our earth to the condition he intended for it, “and death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:3, 4) Is that speaking of life in heaven or on earth? For something to “be no more,” it had to be there in the first place. But death has never existed in heaven. Logically, then, that verse refers to what will happen on earth, where we were meant to live and where we yearn to be with our loved ones. The Bible also reveals that the dead will be brought back to life and reunited with their loved ones.—John 5:28, 29.
Many people have been thrilled to learn what the Bible really teaches about heaven. For example, a former Catholic named George says: “I found the Bible teaching about living forever on earth to be comforting. It made more sense than going to heaven.”
The important thing is whether YOU go to heaven. If you go to heaven, God will provide you with everything you need for eternal happiness. If you need your dog for happiness, your dog will be there.
Dogs go to YOUR heaven. They wait until it is time to join you in YOUR heaven. After all, it wouldn't be heaven without our beloved companions, would it?
Read "The Rainbow Bridge." You might find it comforting. I'm so sorry for your loss....I've been there more times than I'd like to count.

NO!
the Bible emphasizes the distinction between humans and animals. Humans, not animals, were made ‘in the image and likeness of God.’ And whereas animals were created with a limited life span, humans had the prospect of living on earth forever. (Psalm 37:29)
Jesus Christ said that to enjoy “everlasting life,” we must exercise faith and take in knowledge of God things that animals are incapable of doing.
It says that the Creator gave the first humans the opportunity of living forever. Death came only because they rebelled.
What, though, of animals? They are not capable of conscious rebellion against God; yet they live only for a length of time and then die.
Hence, it is clear that the Creator never purposed that individual animals live forever. For them death was natural. 2 Pet. 2:12.
The Bible talks about many different animals. God cares about animals. Heavenn is the size of eastern USA and there are at least 7 levels so it has the area of the earth so there are plenty of room for animals. People who have died and came back see lots of animals in heave. jesus has a horse...
Dogs don't go to heaven
No animals go to heaven
Only humans go to heaven because God only made humans in his image and the animals were made to make earth more beautiful and God put humans in charge of all creation
No
