(Wintz, Jack. Will I See My Dog in Heaven? Massachusetts : Paraclete Press. 2009. 153pp.)
Father Wintz, a Franciscan friar, explores a question he has pondered for years.
His thoughts first appeared in article form in St. Anthony Messenger magazine. Motivated by a large reader response and devotional study of St. Francis, he expanded the original material into book length.

When I saw this book I thought it would be interesting to see how someone would tackle this question theologically. Jack Wintz does a great job of explaining that no one really knows what Heaven will be like, but he basically shows how Biblically God reiterates that He loves all creation, not just humans. He also focuses on St. Francis, the saint of animals, a lot for obvious reasons and also because Wintz is a Franciscan friar himself. Overall, a good exploration of this topic.

I am loving this book. After losing our golden retriever Angel this past Wednesday after 14 1/2 years of unconditional wonderful love, it's very raw. Something told me last night to pull this off my shelf and read it. I haven't been able to put it down. It is a blanket over me, helping my grief along and knowing as I have always known, that we will be together again. I will right Father Jack after finishing this book and thank him. It's a blessing.
A very good book about whether our pets will meet us in Heaven by Jack Wintz, a Francisan priest. He cites many verses from the Bible and other works in answering this question. He says that although no one knows for sure, from his research, he believes that God has a place for our pets in Heaven.
Author shows biblical and spiritual reasons that give confidence that we wil not only see our beloved pets in heaven but all of creation. I liked the book.
This book was not exactly what I had expected - mainly from a Catholic theology perspective. But it does raise an interesting question that we cannot really answer. Could be a good discussion point.
Not only will we see our dogs in heaven, we will see our cats, horses, rabbits, etc. for God created humans and animals.
I liked this little book that I picked up in Sedona last fall. I have been in disagreement with organized religion for the lack of belief that animals are a part of the kingdom of God. whatever that may be.
This book outlined where the bible has included all of creations of God's as heavenly. It wasn't conclusive (is religion ever) but it was interesting.
Recommend.
