The afterlife for pets discussed at Lifetree Cafe
Where pets will go after they pass away will be examined at noon and 7 p.m. Tuesday at Lifetree Cafe.
The program, titled “Do Good Dogs Go to Heaven? Questions About Animals and the Afterlife,” features a filmed interview with Dr. Kathleen Cooney, a veterinarian and founder of Home to Heaven, an in-home pet euthanasia service.
“For the most part, people believe their pets are going to ascend to heaven and the moment death occurs, the soul is gone,” Cooney says. “Others say dogs don’t think, they react to things, so how can they be in heaven? Everybody has their own opinion.”
During the session Lifetree participants will have an opportunity to discuss the times they’ve had to face the death of a beloved pet.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Cafe is located at Cana, 18 S. Third St.
Lifetree Cafe is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Rev. Barbara Huisman at 302-8036
