Great article , awesome dogs,.. from the small research I have done I believe they will be with us. ecclesiastes 3 : 19-21 . After all, the same fate awaits human beings and animals alike. One dies just like the other. They are the same kind of creature. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either......They are both going to the same place the dust. They both came from it, they will both go back to it....... How can anyone be sure that the human spirit goes upward while an animals spirit goes down into the ground? I guess we will wait and see my friend. I sure do miss mine.
