Will There Be Animals On The New Earth? (12 of 15)

People often wonder if there'll be animals in Heaven and their second question is, will they see their pets in Heaven? To some people, this issue is unimportant, but to others it is something they would really like to know.
Children, especially, wonder if they will ever see their pets again. Scripture says a great deal about animals, portraying them as Earth's second most important inhabitants.
