When a dog owner goes through pet loss grief, belief in dog reincarnation becomes a very controversial subject to certain people while others accept it completely. Not everyone believes in reincarnation— but some dog owners who have lost their favorite pet to death accept the fact dog communication from the other side does exist and the spirit of the dog stays close to its loved ones until the pain and healing is over.

The belief of reincarnation usually consists of an acceptance that all living things have the ability to come back to earth for a repeated lifetime. Each life is based on purposes and lessons from previous ones, with continuous lessons love, growth and increased spirituality. But the bottom line … those who love their dogs refuse to believe the animal is no longer with them. Non-caring individuals could care less.

Basis of Dog Reincarnation

To many, the belief in dog reincarnation provides solutions to unanswered questions regarding why the pet is gone and where it is at now. It also helps human grief become less painful, as salve soothes a painful wound. For those who believe in dog reincarnation, the fact there is little — if any–  scientific proof has little bearing.  However,  any form of religion or spiritual belief is hard to scientifically prove as it is based on faith alone. Dog reincarnation is no different and it is a very old system. One of the most influential reincarnation systems that was first introduced belonged to the Dali Llama systems in the early 1500s.

In the Tibetan culture, the Dalai Lama has always cherished all dogs. “A dog is more important than any other possessions. A dog has a soul and is an important member of the family. Animated things are the most important in Tibet.” (Lhasa Apso and Tibetan Culture) History has that those like the Dali Lama has a lifetime of dog reincarnations at their temples. When each of the Lamas’ dogs die, that animal is reincarnated into another Temple dog. The lore states that each dog serves two lifetimes of service, while following the ritual worship of the members such as in the forms of sacrifice and meditation. Whether this is true or not is not important, but it does form some basis for those who believe in dog reincarnation!
