I Will See You in Heaven, My Friend: The Bible Tells Me So!

"Are there animals in heaven?"

Losing a pet is an experience that leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. I find that just talking about a rainbow bridge doesn't really help. It is a beautiful thought, but I am a Bible-believing Christian, so that led me to look up all references to rainbow in the Bible.

Although there is no mention of a "rainbow bridge," what I found was that the rainbow covenant God made with Noah wasn't just to mankind but to every living creature that was with him It was a covenant between God and all of his creation God made an eternal, binding promise to animals

If they are temporary or if he didn't love them, why would he make this everlasting covenant with them? That inspired my journey to start at Genesis and walk through the entire Bible to see what God says. I decided to share the answer and hope that it blesses all who read it.

Danna with Molly, who was physically and emotionally abused for over three years in a puppy mill. Shortly after she rescued Molly, Danna was diagnosed with cancer. Danna persevered in giving Molly the love and encouragement she needed to heal, and in turn, Danna credits Molly with helping her survive the rigors of cancer treatments.

Since that time, Danna has rescued several dogs and helped them to find their forever homes. Not only is Danna passionate about animal rescue, but also about getting laws and regulations passed regarding animal welfare.

Danna is a graduate of the University of Alabama and has built a successful career in the cardiovascular medical device industry. She currently manages a sales team for a Fortune 500 medical company. Danna lives in Birmingham, Alabama with her three rescue dogs, Maxwell, Bella and Gracie.
