Yes. Animals have "spirit" just as we have it. ...as do stones, trees, water, air...
All things have and are of Spirit. It is Mankind's folly and vanity to believe they are so superior to the rest of God's creation that they are somehow "above" all else (the words of Yahweh as expressed in the book of Genesis aside).
It is Mankind that separates himself from God by these thoughts and beliefs. Animals are closer to god because they haven't separated themselves. Therefore, there is much to be learned from them.
