Generally animals no revive in future. For example when a sheep death it is not necessary it revive in doomsday as we don't evoke a sheep to the court for attest and testify. also as we know there are about millions sheep in the world, is it necessary such group of sheep revive , go to heaven and eat its flowers ..... But I told " except ". yes there is an exceptation . In the heaven the wishes will come off and every heavenly believer can wishes what he want (or requests of god ) for example if he had has a pet in this world and had loved it very much so he request it revive again to be by him in heaven it will revive but I think this is a very low requesting In comparison with heaven gifts but it is possible.

It has been suggested to me that it is our love for an animal that gives it it's honored place in the hereafter.

According to the traditions of my people, animals have spirits as well; therefore, they would exist in the afterlife as well. I sure hope so. I love my Beagle!

Good looking pug there sanspeur! Sorry to see a friend pass.

Isn't it ironic that animal lovers have no problem of wishing their deceased pets a heaven of sorts. Irony they did not do anything to warrant our love nor a wish for a hereafter.

Humans thus have more empathy towards pets than biblegod has towards man. Pity the men who invented gods never thought of that one.

If I make it to heaven, will I still have to worry about being bitten by a dog?

At least now I can intimidate aggressive dogs by swinging my golf club at them, which I have done more than once. If the dog knows it has everlasting life, it may be harder to intimidate them.
