Will there be dogs in heaven??

Now, please don't laugh- this is a serious question!!

I have a Great Aunt whose dog died after 19 years...she rescued this dog before it was old enough to be weaned from his mama, and bottle fed it until it could eat food. She could never have children, so this dog was 'her baby' for 19 years...

She was crying about it and saying that she was glad she would see it in heaven. Weeelllll....some well meaning soul took it upon themselves to tell her that was not the reality of the situation, and my Great Aunt responded with this..."If there are gonna be lions and lambs up there- then I am for certain, there will be dogs. It may not be my CoCo, but if there are dogs at all, then I will be content..." !!!!!!!

Any thoughts or comments?? I had never thought about it one way or the other...

Of course, I know of at least ONE poster who would be happy if there were a few good COON dogs up there!!!
