thankyou to Frink, Sluggo, and doubleofive.
as for Bingowings, I have no idea whether or not dogs have souls or if they can go to heaven or not. I'm 100% sure that they don't and can't go to hell. I will trust God to know what is best as far as that stuff goes.
I am also 110% certain the my brother and his family loved their dog and are very sad that he is gone and will miss him a lot. He was part of their family. That is all I have to say on the subject.
