God will provide us with everything we need to be happy in heaven--and if animals are necessary to make us completely happy there, then you can be confident He will arrange for them to be with us.
"Some Bible scholars have pointed out that the Bible suggests that there may be animals in Heaven--but without the aggressiveness and dangers that are part of their lives now. The prophet Isaiah saw God's coming Kingdom as a place of absolute peace, where even animals that had once been enemies will be friends. He wrote: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them" (Isaiah 11:6).
