The head of the Catholic Church promises that some dogs, at least, do go to heaven
Pope Francis confirmed during his weekly address in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square that canines, along with “all of God’s creatures,” can make it to heaven.
The leader of the Catholic Church made the remark in order to comfort a young boy who was mourning the death of his dog, according to the New York Times.
“One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures,” said the 77-year-old Pontiff, according to Italian news sources.
Pope Francis has been cast as a much more liberal figure compared with his predecessors. Since ascending to the church’s helm last year, he has attempted to engage with homosexuals and unwed couples and backed the Big Bang Theory.

The Muslim holy book, the Holy Quran also alludes to the fact that all living creatures that walk the earth or fly in the air will be brought together in their Lord's presence on the resurrection day (Al-Qur'an - 6:39).
