Are people coming back as dogs?

The Animal Network show Pet Star (2002-2005), hosted by Mario Lopez, was a contest between owners and their pets who performed tricks for cash rewards that ranged from $2,500 to $25,000.

One episode featured a woman whose dog would turn over alphabet blocks to spell words. She claimed that when she first exposed the animal to the blocks, the dog spelled out the name of her late mother, which led her to believe that the dog was the reincarnation of her parent. Lopez had no reaction to this revelation.

Could people be returning as dogs or other pets? Considering the moral decline of America, many people could be demoted in their next turn of existence.

The growing acceptance of pets as family members suggests that people may intuitively sense some human background in their animals. In the United States, older people have fewer grandchildren to dote on; reincarnated humans in pets could be a substitute.

Well, if the mother's name was Geraldine I would be darn impressed.
If her name was Jo...not so much.

More likely the dog was empty headed - so the mom's spirit influenced his paws.
OMG...that sounded like I think Mediums are empty-headed..no, no.
Only in the most complimentary of terms, I assure you.

In my opinion the answer is No a human does not come back as an Animal

An evolved entity may decide for its own reasons to have part of itself experiencing a lower form of consciousness in Earthly terms: an animal, even a plant.

Miss H: “More likely the dog was empty headed - so the mom's spirit influenced his paws”.

Funny you saying that because straight after I read the above I thought the exact same thing! Lol

Yes. It seems so.

Seth said that he had, at the time, a fragment incarnated as a dog (didn't get into details about why, where), and he also said that he enjoys vacations as a tree.

Seth said that everything is self-conscious, not in the sense of human self-consciousness, and that we humans are thinking about us as being more special than we actually are.

Invalan, that certainly makes sense to me.

I feel that we are not the body, we are consciousness. So when you look at it from that point of view then consciousness can go into a tree a plant a rock and just about any living thing cos consciousness doesn’t have a form. I think!

''demoted''...

Or perhaps it has nothing to do with any hierarchies. I don't believe my dog is inferior to me, not generally. Maybe inferior at doing x or y, just like I am inferior at other things. Shouldn't walk throughout life, looking in the mirror, and thinking ''I'm a human therefore I own this universe''

Oh, I did not know 'he' had ---I thought he was speaking of some others that have...
AND it could be for a century of 'rest'.
