Torah HaKodesh is very clear that all animal life (including we humans )is ensouled (en·soul (ĕn-sōl') pronunciation also in·soul (ĭn-)tr.v., -souled, -soul·ing, -souls. 1. To endow with a soul.2. To place, receive, or cherish in the soul.). Meaning, in the most basic sense, that all have an eternal, immortal essence that continues from the time of each individual's cherished creation by Hashem Ha Kodesh Baruchu, unto all eternity. It is this principle (among others that form the Theological basis for reincarnation found in the sacred texts of the Zohar & Qabballah. The nefesh, or "animal soul" is the perfect, natural being without guile, guilt, or shame. Only in we humans do our actions bring such weights unto it. In our creature companions in this creation, this soul is never smirched, nor in any way corrupted. They live their lives' in total obedience to Hashem who created them. None should doubt that they continue on even as we, who so often would aggreive Hashem Ha Kodesh Baruchu, do. On the day of full redemption & physical resurrection I fully expect to be joined by those creatures with whom I was priveleged to share my mortal sojourn, only then there will be no pain, nor loss, nor tears. All sorrows forgotten, all wounds bound up. Those called "dumb" animals will be so no longer & joy shall be the greater for it.
