Is There Proof Of Pet Reincarnation

By Dawn Williams


Some religions in the world place animals in a place of high esteem. Hindu people have a reverence for cows and do not eat beef. They allow cows to roam through towns or anywhere else they please. Some people do not entertain the idea of an animal having a soul as a human does. But, some believe pet reincarnation is a possibility.

Some African tribes have a general belief in animals having more than one life. Death is not considered the end but the beginning of a new existence. It is thought that the dead live in an invisible place close to the living on earth.

We see the ancient pyramids in Egypt as monuments to the kings. The truth is they are chambers of supplies to serve them in the afterlife. All the goods, riches and statues are accumulated during this life to serve them in the next. A Buddhist believes the soul lives on and enters another body to return to earth.

The Zulu people in Africa believe a soul is born into an insect or rodent. It moves up the line after each death, reincarnating into a higher life form until finally, it enters a human baby. Following that, there are many additional lives to be lived.

Karmic rebirth is a belief adhered to by Hindus and Buddhists. Each action of the person is noted and returned in kind. Therefore, if a person commits good acts, he will be reborn as something good. If he commits crimes and other bad things, he will return as something undesirable.

Naturally, a great many people are very attached to their pets. Just as people join a support group after losing a loved family member, a pet owner may join one for those who lost a beloved pet. Some members of those support groups tell about a pet they believe is the soul of the lost pet.

The Inuit people have the belief that everyone and every animal has a soul. In earlier times the hunters would kill an animal for food and then perform a ritual to send the soul into the next incarnation. They do not think an animal is ever reborn as a person, but, rather always is born another animal.

To a Native American, animals have spirits that are divine life sources. They are a part of the great Creator. The animal spirit moves in a circle of life, being reborn again and again. The tribes believe that a prayer must be offered for the soul of an animal when it is killed.

The attachment between a man and his dog is a special one. Naturally, someone would want a pet that has died to return in another dog. It is no less believable for dogs than for humans. After all, there are more people in the world who believe in reincarnation than do not.

Pet reincarnation is no less a possibility than human reincarnation. Every culture has its own set of beliefs. If it comforts the pet owner who has lost their dog or cat, why scoff at it. It is not something anyone can either prove or disprove and a great many people believe that it is real.
