If you’re a good person, believe in Jesus Christ, why would God keep your dog out of heaven— one of the most loyal, loving animals around? To make you sad in heaven, missing your dog?
If your take is animals are just here to serve man, why can’t they serve man in heaven? Why would this mean they would have to have a soul?
Psalm 148:
7Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
9you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
11kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
12young men and women,
old men and children.
