OP alludes to animal spirits and God having created their spirits like those of men.
Orson Pratt, "The Pre-Existence of Man," The Seer 1, no. 2 (February 1853): 21
Did not the same God who made the spirits of men, make the spirits of beasts also? . . . Thus we see that the Lord is, not only the God of the spirits of men, but He is "the God of the spirits of all flesh."
