Gaon similar story it’s a true story
A guy came to a rabbi and asked him to say Kaddish for his dog so the rabbi said come back tomorrow it’s a matter he couldn’t answer at that moment (he has to “lookup the answer “) so he said tehillim and went to sleep knowing everything will work out when the guy came back the next day he asked the rabbi , “nu?” So the rabbi said since one suede says you can only say kaddish for a Jewish departed soul and on the other hand u want Kaddish to be said for the dog but the question is is it permissible. We have a shulchan aruch stating that somebody in doubt weather he should say Kaddish or not he should listen to Simone who needs to say it and answer amen and by that he will fulfill the duty of saying Kaddish by answering amen During this time he learned some daavening and other things to do with yiddishkei now this guy is a frum guy shomer Torah and mitzvos
