Do dogs have a soul?

It is a highly debated topic whether or not dogs have souls. There is a wide variety of answers and at the end of the day, it only depends on what you personally believe in.

Where do dog souls go?

Where souls go is such a common topic. It’s talked about in almost every religion and belief. While some religions don’t think dogs even have souls, others believe animal souls are the same as humans. Take Hinduism for example. Hindus believe that all humans and animals have souls and both of them are caught in the life death cycle. Meaning, when you die you are brought back in the form of another living being. Reincarnation in Hinduism is based on karma, if you were a “good” person or animal in this life, you will be brought back as something pleasant with a pleasant life and vice versa. Buddhism has the same reincarnation beliefs, but with the thought that karma is out of our control.

 

Many Native American tribes also believe animals have souls. The Cherokees can be classified as animism or belief that all living things have souls. After a kill while hunting, a thanking ritual would occur to thank the animal and Mother Nature for the nutrients and a good hunt. Cherokee and other Native Americans believed animals would go on to protect them and guide them from up above. Being their “spirit guides” through life.

Do dogs have an afterlife?

In 1990, Pope John Paul II said dogs do have souls and are “as near to God as men are”. Which goes against the classic Christian belief that no animals have a hope of the afterlife.

 

Meanwhile, other faiths such as Mormonism say absolutely dogs go to Heaven and Buddhists who believe in several heavens, say all animals end up in one of these heavens. Buddhists also believe that Heaven is not an eternal place and eventually all sentient beings will be reborn on Earth. This means humans and animals are interconnected.

 

Overall, most religious beliefs agree that dogs have souls and therefore do have an afterlife, whether that be waiting for us in Heaven or coming back to us in a different form.

Will My Dog Reincarnate Back To Me?

Buddhist and Hinduism beliefs state that heaven is only temporary and all living beings come back to Earth in a different form after death. This is where reincarnation comes from. This includes dogs, cats, bees, bugs, and all living beings!

What does the Bible and other religious texts say about losing a pet?

While we know that Christians don’t believe animals have the same souls as humans, they do believe that God takes on all animals when they die. So they are not forgotten completely, and they may not be waiting in the same Heaven that people go to, but rather, they are in the Kingdom of Heaven following God. This is partly because to get into Heaven, you have to repent your sins and accept God as savior. Animals are not able to do so. Matthew 18:3 says “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven.”

 

Many Christians believe that we must not be happy based on “material things” and that God does not order things based on our desires. They believe that whatever is in Heaven is the way God would have wanted it, that only he knows what’s best for us and our happiness.

3 true stories of pets in heaven waiting for their owners

Real people have shared many stories of having “near death experiences” and seeing their pets waiting for them on the other side. From the website Near Death Experiences, is a collaboration and collection of stories from people all over the world. I have found a few stories of people greeted by their pets.

• Tracy (2009)
  • Tracy gives her story of going under. She says she has just told everyone, her family, that she loved them then everything went fuzzy. When she came to, she was on a grassy hill greeted by her grandmother.
  • Alongside her was a bouncy soft puppy. “I had never seen our dog as a puppy. I was so happy to see her. We had to put her down two weeks prior to my daughter’s birth. She had injured her hip.
  • We had given all the surgery we could to keep her, but it did not make her quality of life better – it had become much worse. We had her put down on my due date.
  • Our hearts were so heavy with the loss of the dog that generously shared her life with us for 12 years.” She goes on to say that grandmother tells her that she is not done loving in the world and she must return. And she does.
  •  
• Don (2006?)
  • Don shared his experience of his near death experience while in surgery. He says he was all of the sudden in a lush green forest surrounded by dogs. He called out his deceased dogs name and he was there and they could understand each other.
  • “The other dogs took off, racing towards the light. My dog turned, looked right at me and barked. And again, I could understand him.
  • In a very scolding tone he said, ‘You’re not supposed to be here!’ He took off and joined the other dogs, and soon they were all engulfed by the light. I could see figures there, but I could not move.” He says that is when he woke up.
• Tracey J
  • Tracy tells a beautiful story involving her new puppy and the passing of her father. Her father, 70, who had a serious case of cancer, died on Christmas Eve in 2005. Fast forward to 2011, Tracey gets a new puppy. The puppy at 6 months old had complications during its neutering surgery.
  • She brings the puppy home and opens a drawer with the puppies brush in it. There is also a picture of her dad. The puppy ignores the brush and takes the photograph and curls up into his bed with it, something the dog had never done.
  • A week later it’s Easter and she is going to visit her dads grave. She brings the puppy along. While letting the dog out to relieve himself, he suddenly runs away! On the way out of the cemetery, I decided to hike quickly to my father’s grave and ask him for help finding our pup.
  • I could not believe my eyes that the puppy was laying down panting on my dad’s grave, with a giant puppy grin and much satisfaction. He knew that was where my dad was even though he had never met my dad or gone to that cemetery. I believe that during my dogs ‘flat line’ moments in surgery, he must have seen my father.”
