Will Dogs Chase Cats in Heaven?: People, Pets, and Wild Animals in the Afterlife

Do you remember the 1980s animated classic All Dogs Go to Heaven?To some, it's a simple cartoon, but among the millions of devoted pet owners out there, the film's premise-the goings-on among animals in the afterlife-resonates strongly.

Do wild animals have immortal souls? Will we see our household pets in the hereafter? In Will Dogs Chase Cats in Heaven?, Dan Story, a graduate school-trained Christian apologist, offers a resounding "Yes "

But don't just take his word for it. Dan does far more than wax sentimental about our furry friends. His unique style pairs anecdotal experience with animal-behavior studies and biblical commentary. In fact, Dan's conclusions are backed by an impressive list of references-from Dinesh D'Souza to Martin Luther. Academics and theologians both ancient and modern have long discussed the validity of an animal resurrection, and Dan's new book puts it all together in a delightfully cogent yet readable way.

Most importantly, Will Dogs Chase Cats in Heaven? tells us something about the nature of God: his eye truly is on the sparrow, and his overwhelming love for all creation is perhaps best reflected in the significance he places not just on man-but also man's best friend.

Dan Story has made good use of his BA in theology and his MA in Christian apologetics. He's taught college classes, led Bible studies, and spearheaded seminars. He's also authored a variety of books and articles on everything from the defense of the Christian faith to the environment.

Dan's media presence isn't limited to his published works. He's been a guest on sixty-five radio programs, and he's even appeared on television.

The father of two and grandfather of four, Dan is married and lives in Southern California. Apart from writing and teaching, Dan enjoys mountain biking, hiking, reading, and photographing wildlife. Learn more about Dan's life and work at www.danstory.net.
