From many stories of seeing our beloved pets, We can truly say a big Yes!
My own dog sammy (westie, he has from being in spirit for about three days. To dream of him, this is what he is good at, l have seen him numerous times. We have his photo one time l was very down this is about 8 yrs since he passed to spirit. I spoke to his picture, wished he would come back to see me. I went to sleep few nights later, when l was aware of a staircase, on one of the treads, there was sammy sitting there. I picked him up kissed him, on top of his head, had a quick cuddle. Then he jumped down out of my arms he ran back upstairs l know l could not follow him. It was very real, it not only brought great comfort, he telling me, that he knew that l am having few problems and felt quite sad. So l can truthly say yes! god bless sammy and all our beloved animal friends here and in spirit world
