Will There Be Dogs in Heaven?

Ask Dr. E

Full Q: I just learned that my little velty has a tumor in his bladder and I think I know what that means. I call him a velcro doggie. He's been my constant companion for 10 years and helped me through some really rough times including when my husband passed away 4 years ago. He's very bright and he follows me everywhere. Sometimes I look at him and I wonder if I could be as devoted as my doggy is to me. If I could be that devoted to God, I would be a better person. Anyway, some of my friends say we won't see our pets in heaven and some say we will. All I know is there's a phrase about the lion will lay down with the lamb, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this. It kind of gives me comfort to think that I'll see my Riley again in heaven, but I'm not sure that's right.
