Pope Francis tells boy whose dog had died that heaven is open to all

[Xolodno]

30. Read a little bit closer...I think you are looking for the obvious...

Also, I'm using the RSV version.

Note that humans are called "children of God" (verse 16) and "creation" implies everything else (creation is often referred to all creatures not human, mother nature, etc.)

[19] For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;
[20] for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;
[21] because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.
[22] We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;
[23] and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Verse 21 will get fundies furious...and verse 23 reaffirms the distinction between humans and the animal kingdom.
