Are we reunited with our beloved dogs after we die?
Many people who have had Near Death Experiences (NDEs) say yes, we are. Those people have encountered their dogs during a temporary death experience, and many encounter their dogs a short time before a natural death.
Subsequent research has revealed that NDEs are common when a person has a close brush with death, during a psychologically traumatic event or nears the end of life. Known to have occurred during cardiac arrests, traumatic injuries, surgery, accidents, suicide attempts, childbirth, combat, and life-threatening illnesses, NDEs are reported across many cultures and have been recorded throughout history.
