Ashes form silhouette of beloved dog

Ashley Lang recently lost her beloved dog — a 12-year-old Golden Retriever named Wagner.

Lang had Wagner cremated.

When a friend took a photo of Lang spreading Wagner’s ashes, the picture showed the billowing ashes forming the silhouette of a dog.

Lang told CBS Chicago: “It’s pretty remarkable…the tail and the legs and he looks like he’s, you know, leaping to go up. Everyone keeps calling him the angel dog.”

Ashley said she believes it was Wagner’s way of saying one last goodbye.

I believe our pet animals have souls.

Many near death experiences (NDEs) include being greeted not just by family members, but also by departed pets.

Many years ago, my husband and I obtained a yellow kitten from the local animal shelter to keep his elderly mom company. His mom lived in an in-law cottage. We named the cat, Chester, who spent most of his days outdoors.

To prevent Chester from hunting birds, I attached a bell to his collar.

Chester lived to a ripe old age, and passed from natural causes. For a full week after the cat died, both my husband and I independently heard  Chester’s bell ringing outside.

I experienced a similar phenomenon with my cat, Charles Elmo.

Charles lived to be 17 years old.

When I returned home after bringing Charles to the vet to be put to sleep, I  was sitting before my desktop computer when I heard Charles’ distinctive meow.

I believe that was Charles telling me he’s okay and saying “Goodbye”.

Remarkable: Different animal species are friends

The promise of what is to come:

“The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.” -Isaiah 11:6-7

Ever see a dog fly or climb a wall? Meet the amazing Belgian Malinois

These dogs are Belgian Shepherds – specifically the Malinois breed.

Belgian Shepherds are known to be highly intelligent, alert and sensitive; they are typically highly trainable, with a strong guarding instinct. Hence many are desired for home protection and they are very well suited for security services.

While achieving great jumps they appear to be flying! Check ’em out:

Dog rescues another dog from drowning in swimming pool

Fox News reported this story that occured in South Africa.

Homeowners came home to find their “Chuky” with a wet head. They watched their security camera and soon discovered the cause.

Chuky mistakenly walked into a pool and couldn’t get out. Another dog, Jessie, happened by and came to Chuky’s rescue.

Apparently it took Jessie 34 minutes to pull Chuky out of the water because of the wet dog hair. But Jessie didn’t give up! Watch:

Excellent job, Jessie!

The kindness of dogs

St. Catherine of Siena said, “Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.”

By that measure, the following dogs are closer to God than many humans.

(1) A Golden Retriever found a scraggly stray kitten and brought the kitten home to the dog’s human.

(2) A little white puppy comforts its human, a dejected street performer in Colombia, when no one gave him a cent for his singing. (Go to The Dodo for the rest of the story.)

This last one is truly remarkable.

(3) A Golden Retriever pup found two goldfishes out of water. So the pup gently takes each goldfish in its mouth, then puts the fish back in the bowl of water. Note how after the puppy releases the fish into the bowl, the pup nudges the fish to make sure the fish is okay.

But there are some who insist non-human creatures like these holy dogs don’t have souls….
