So the New Pope says that dogs (and pets) can go to Heaven

The head of the Catholic Church promises that some dogs, at least, do go to heaven

Pope Francis confirmed during his weekly address in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square that canines, along with “all of God’s creatures,” can make it to heaven.

The leader of the Catholic Church made the remark in order to comfort a young boy who was mourning the death of his dog, according to the New York Times.

“One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures,” said the 77-year-old Pontiff, according to Italian news sources.

This raises several questions:

Was the Pope lying to the sad boy in an attempt to comfort him?

If pets can go to Heaven, will pitbulls be allowed in?

Will pets be allowed in or only if their owners get in too? If we go to Hell does that mean that our pets do too?

What if we go to Heaven, but one of our cats is a little shit. Is that jerk getting into Heaven on my coattails?

Are owners responsible for their own pets? If so, my wife has had something like 5 dogs and 6 or 7 cats so far. That's too many animals for one mansion. Will pets still have to use a box and/or be walked in Heaven? Jesus, the last thing I want to do is have to is scoop a litter box every day. Wow, Heaven's going to be a loud, smelly place if they poop in the afterlife.
