We are not commanded to proselytize or baptize our pets so it would seem that their eternal paths are different from ours.
Far be it for me to tell the Almighty what He can or cannot do but I believe expecting our pets to see us in Heaven is just human emotionalism and not support by His Word.
Okay. God bless you!
Scripture is about who God is, and our need to repent & believe, and how we should live to follow Him. As such, it leaves a lot of stuff out, which is why systematic theology texts mix a lot of philosophy in.
Where scripture is silent, we just don't know. And I'm not too trusting of some guy on TV who says he has visited heaven, and learned what God didn't reveal to the prophets or apostles!
However, there is this:
"19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies." - Romans 8
My suspicion is that heaven will be a much bigger and more incredible place than most preachers think about...
