To start out the post with something vague to allow for more wide away, were to the souls of none human animals go, if they were to exist? Heaven and hell are apparently only for humans do the the "original sin", so are animals who did not participate doomed to the same fate?
If animals do not have souls, then were does there personality come from? Going back to the example of dogs, some are energetic, some are calm, and actually pretty much as different as humans. This would of course, make since that there is no such thing as souls, but not if there is.
Then, if beasts go straight to paradise, then why does the god not extend the same kindness to humans?
Well it is common cutesy on the internetz to read the OP before posting....
I know about internet courtesy; I'm just used to going right through to were the action is. It's a bad habit of mine that made me quit the WEPR years ago. In fact, today's my very first day back on WEPR, so excus my rudeness, I'll remember to be more courteous from now on. You see; in the AMW, it is not necessary to read Ops as subject are light hearted and prone to change every now and then; I guess the years I spent there lead me astray from common netiquette ^^.

The bible does not say anything about that, so I can not say. It is one of those things we will only find out when we get to heaven. I personally hope that animals will be in heaven, but I can't give biblical evidence for it.
it's hard to say where dogs go. the writers of the bible didn't see this as a important subject, they often refer to dogs if they want to tell that someone is not nice. another one: snakes.
if someone goes to heaven, he\\she is supposed to be happy there.
some people can't be happy without there dog.
4 options:
-people forget they had a dog on earth.
-the dog goes to heaven too.
-people get a something witch is verry like the dog they had, and are happy with that.
-something completely else happens. possible the most likely option.
That doesn't explain what happens to all other beasts when they die, like say a non domestic animal. How would that work? So like a wolf, who never has any contact with humans, what would happen to it? Or say an atheist's dog? Do they go to hell for something they could not control?
Animals are considered lesser beings to the Christian religion. As for where their 'entities' go when they die... They simply do not care.
I am a christian but I still don't care much for animals. I love the pets I have but I've lost three cats to illness in my lifetime. Never cried for any of them.

Oh really? Why does your religion think animals are of lesser beings? What makes them lesser than us, when clearly some animals are far better developed than us in some aspects? And how do you know their entities do not care where they go? That is in a sense "speaking for them". How do you, or your religion, know how their plans go?
That quote really has no point here. The smartest dog has a substantial difference against the stupidest man. Although I'm not very sure what you're getting at here.
'look at the birds, none of them dies if the father doesn't want to. why complain, while you are much better than the birds?' (free translation, I havn't an englisch bible 'round here.
