Soul Dog: A Journey into the Spiritual Life of Animals

Product Information

Roxy died in 2020, almost 15. 3 months later we adopted another rescue, Rhea, a German Shepard mix, thinking Alex was lonely. Alex was not crazy about her, but tolerated her. In the last 4 years of his life especially, he was the biggest marshmallow. He was constantly showering you with kisses, and the best cuddler there is. He made the first few confusing years of adulthood in the “real world” easier and enjoyable. Zinsli, Hans Jürg (December 26, 2020). "Seelenwanderungen mit Pixar"[Transmigration of Souls with Pixar].

I gave him medicated baths daily for the first month together, began home making his food to help him put weight on, gave him a safe room where he could finally relax, and started our journey together.

Let’s explore the definition of “heart dog”, and what exactly this kind of relationship encompasses. What is a heart dog?

Me and her are bonded in ways I can’t quite comprehend but sense I’m going to be grateful for when grief comes banging on our lives, breaking us apart into a million shards of glass. I think about him several times a day when I’m at work and cry when I have to leave him for more then a couple of days. I drive 6 hours to my parents house to let them babysit him instead of boarding him at a kennel because I know he would be ill with fear if left at a kennel. I made a kiddie trailer into a bike trailer were working on for gravel riding and in Spring Im going to try training her for kayaking! Laird, James (February 23, 2021).

I started learning more about behavioral euthanasia. Listening to podcasts from certified dog trainers and veterinary behaviorists, joining support groups filled with people who had been through it, and reading blog posts and articles about it. The more I learned the more I realized that this is the decision I was about to be faced with. I would absolutely say that Wynston is my canine soulmate. I literally include him in every aspect of my life. I take his well-being into consideration before everything. A heart dog is that doggo who you could probably never compare another dog to. I always say that I will most likely not get another Chihuahua when Wynston passes away because there’s no way one could compare to him. It wouldn’t be fair to that other dog because I’d have preconceived notions about how I’d think they should behave and act. My heart dog was Alex, a 100 lb Belgian Malinois that we found in the desert 14 1/2 years ago. He was about 6 months at the time, had apparently been dumped. Couldn’t find an owner; we adopted him & raised him with Roxy, a Dalmatian Pit mix, another rescue for 14 years. They were great companions. I’ve had big dogs, mostly rescue most of my life, but none connected like Alex to me. He followed me everywhere, always right at my feet. There is no question he was my Heart Dog, a soul mate.

I have had other dogs I have bonded with closely. I have 2 dogs at present. I feel a little bad the older of the 2 isn’t my favorite. He’s great, obedient, loveable, an AWESOME dog, but last year I met my heart and soul of a dog, Nala. She was rescued by my adult son, a 4 pb starving puppy. One of two, her brother didn’t live, he was likely too malnourished and perished. Nala made it. He took her to his and his girlfriend’s place. That lasged a week.

experienced souls who act as mentors. Each new soul has a badge that grants passage to Earth once it has been completely filled in with interests and personality traits. Mistaken for a mentor, Joe is assigned to 22, a stubborn soul who has been in the Great Before for thousands of years and hopes to avoid Earth. Intrigued by Joe's desperation to return to a mundane life, 22 agrees to let Joe help find her "spark", which will complete her badge and enable Joe to use it to return home. After Joe's attempts to find 22 a passion prove futile, they visit " the Zone", a place that souls enter when their passions create a euphoric trance but becomes a trap for obsessed, lost souls. They meet Moonwind, a sign twirler who regularly enters the Zone to rescue lost souls, who helps the duo locate Joe's comatose body in a hospital. Sarto, Dan (December 1, 2020).
