A DOG’S SOUL

This is a true story that Susanna witnessed and told to me that I have decided to tell , as it fits in with my previous stories about dogs and spirituality

One day when Susanna was at church she observed a family with a little 👦 boy, who appeared sad and his parents were encouraging him to speak to the priest, This little boy, whom seemed sensitive wanted to ask the priest, some very important questions..

The little boy earnestly asked the priest if dog’s have a soul. Without thinking why the little boy asked him, such a question, the priest replied that only mankind has a soul. The little boys face trembled as he heard this, and then the little boy asked if dog’s go to heaven? Again without empathy 💔 for the little boy, the priest replied that heaven is only for mankind. The little boy was crying by this stage and ran into his mother’s arms.

Susanna was outraged by what she had witnessed the priest say and felt empathy and compassion for the little boy. Susanna decided to approach the family, whom seemed unhappy, that their son’s earnest loving questions had been met with such an uncaring response. Susanna said to the little boy that if HE believed that their dog has a soul, then dog’s do have a soul. She then said to the little boy that if HE believed dog’s go to heaven, that HE would see his dog again when HE goes to heaven. Susanna said it is a matter of having faith and our own values 🙏 surrounding that faith

I know the priest was only giving a literally explanation based on bible interpretation, but surely he should have seen, the little boys very obvious grief and answered the little boy, with a more caring response. God would not have struck the priest down with lightning because he was telling him something that was not technically biblical, but seriously if as part of our faith, and part of our healing to believe that we will see our beloved pets again in heaven what’s the harm in that.?

Anyone whom has 😍 loved a dog believes they are affectionate little souls, whom earn the right to go to heaven What is the harm in believing that. I personally am looking forward to seeing all my beloved canine companions when I enter heaven. They are my loved one’s too and I can’t imagine a heaven without them.

God bless you Susanna for being angelic presence for that little boy. God bless you.
