I Believe In Reincarnation

I had already wrote two stories of our family dog, and how he died recently. After his death, I was wondering is he going to reincarnate once again. So I had read a couple of resources, viewpoints, and also what Buddhism says, and it appears as not just pets, but also humans, in fact everyone reincarnates. Even though reincarnation wasn't proven scientifically, I could found some hints from near death experience (NDE), and out of body experiences. They all point out what Buddhism had said, meaning there is a mental body (gandhabba in Buddhism), which is actually responsible for giving us the awareness. Once the being died, it searches for another body, then attaches it to the body in the womb, and makes it alive. That's how we reborn or reincarnate, but it doesn't necessarily mean your pet is coming back to you. However, I have read how having strong karmic bond might make your pet to return to you. I guess it's sort of like law of attraction. If you strongly want something, you get it somehow, especially when you work for it.

It seems like it's not just limited to pets, but also humans. I don't have hard facts to prove this so far, but the information I found from multiple sources seem consistent. So I believe there is something more out there that we can't see. Besides, I feel strongly our family dog will come back to me. In this I am going to adopt him.!

In Old Tibet, it was believed dogs were people who didn't quite make it back to a human rebirth, but if the they were given love they would return as human.

@hunkalove Unfortunately he wasn't given much love. His owner was my sister/her husband (by then he was her boyfriend who gifted him her), but once my sister left after marriage, she just left him in our home, then he was like nobody's dog. My parents wanted them to take him away, but they didn't want him saying they have no place to keep him. besides she, and her husband both work, and they are not at home in most of the times, and they go on vacations in every week ends. So my parents asked them to take him to a better place, but they didn't listen. They made excuses saying nobody wants this breed. We had this Indian breed, whom are not favoured by anyone. Here people always like exotic breeds, but I feel like if they searched hard, they could have found a better place.

So we just kept him with us, and gave him foods. We couldn't just throw him away. Even though he was given foods, he wasn't given enough love. Initially I didn't much into him, because the dog I loved was given to my mom's sister by my mom (the other dog whom owner was also my sister). so I lost interest in dogs thereafter. but before a year or two he died, I felt like I started liking our family dog more and more, I spent time with him, gave him foods, spent money on him, in fact I treated him in the whole time when he got pneumonia, but still my mom did more than me. However, I realized I love him more when he died. This is why I want him come back to me.
