Growing up and still believe dogs have souls and go to Heaven. Then again my family was Catholic and I never heard a priest say they didn't. :-) My friends of other religious always believed their beloved did too. :-) I will believe any animals that were loved by a person will go to Heaven as I know my horses, dogs and cat I lost are there. :-) How could it be Heaven without the ones you loved there. :-) Theresa -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 12/16/14, Cindy <sophoclesajax@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Just received this from another GSD list serve & forwarded it to my dad, who is a Catholic.
