__________________ ...MY THOUGHTS, ANYWAY.
"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
Where does the Bible specifically say that an animal has no "soul" or "spirit"?
I believe there will be animals in Heaven. The revelation describes angelic beasts around the throne of God....and Christ himself returns on a white horse (I believe the saints are depicted as riding steeds as well). If you search the Bible the only place horses were made was on earth. I imagine this horse once lived on earth. Also, when the angel loosed the tongue of Balam's donkey, it spoke as an intelligent and self aware creature who could see the angel. Animals are highly sensitive to the spiritual.
Personally, I think there's more to animals and the spiritual than we're willing to acknowledge in our human arrogance. I had a shepherd mix who was very keen on things. I swear she alerted us of a spirit a time or two.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord....that includes all creation...not just man. I believe in the book of Romans Paul even states how the entire creation travails awaiting it's redemption from the curse when Christ returns. That includes every beast....land, sea, and air.
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
