As an agnostic, I just can't stomach this. It leads people, esp. children, into some kind of false hope they will see their pets again. What we know for sure is that there's this world here. Love your animals here and now. Take care of them, don't hurt them, be kind to them. That's all we know for sure.
There's a difference between clinging to this kind of stuff to get through the grief, and facing the fact that your loved one is really gone.
