Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Has there ever been a really bad dog? and...if they go to hell, does that mean Michael Vick goes down farther than hell for 1,000 times as long for killing them?

Animals are NEVER bad.. Wild animals do only what is necessary to survive, and domesticated animals rely on us for suurvival.
They are made up of the same genetic material as us, so yes we all just die.
Animals cant be bad because they just have basic instincts and do what they do to survive. I think all living things have a soul.
My dog had a soul. So, I reckon all animals do too. Don't believe in hell.
I don't know but I do know this, I would like to believe they will meet us in heaven. It comforts me to believe that immensely.
"There is an old belief,
that on some solemn shore,
beyond the sphere of grief,
dear friends shall meet once more."

I think they have a doggie heaven...

Remember...All dogs go to heaven.
Good luck!!
Animals rely on instincts os they wouldn't go to hell but I don't know they could but they don't really have big minds I hope I'm wrong
i think animals just die, unless they truly affected someones life. Then they meet that person in heaven. At least thats what i hope. :)
I think all living things have souls.
I thought they just went on the BBQ when they die.
