This experience is equal to losing a family member. It feels worse to realize that your doggo’s short life was full of love and now you will crave for it.
In such a heavy and emotional situation, multiple thoughts can come to mind. And your dog waiting for you in heaven is one of them.
Today we will unfold some facts about the same and some indications that validate it.

Is my dog in heaven waiting for me?
No one on the earth can give you the exact answer to this question. But there are several reports of pet parents that suggest their dogs visited them after dying.
Animal communicators will agree on this. As they believe that pets and humans are connected by the thread of love. And this thread cannot be cut off by death.
Talking about religious texts, there are different religious interpretations to give you the answer to “Is my dog in heaven waiting for me?”
Key factors include:
- Concept of Hell/Heaven
- Abrahamic religions
- Concept of after-death experience
If you are a believer in these religious texts then you will surely be meeting your doggo in heaven.
Signs that indicate your dog waiting for you in heaven
Smelling odors of your dog
According to science, pets in heaven can send signs via scents and odours. These scents and odours are not usual but the exact same ones that the dog had.
One of my friends had a Labrador named “Jimmy”. He told me that Jimmy hated bathing but loved to jump in swamps. This created a different odour that my friend could easily recognize.
After Jimmy passed away, my friend would sense the same odour while working in his office.
Hearing sounds
84% of pet owners claim that they heard their beloved pets after they died. This is included in a study about grief and the “false recognitions” that people face due to the loss.
Studies show that humans may hear the sound of their beloved pets due to sadness and grief. It may take a long time for humans to recover from this heavy pain and highly affect their lives.
A question that arises here is that is hearing sounds is only due to grief or it is after-death communication (ADC).
Many animal communicators believe that it is the latter. Sound is one of the common signs that pets send in the afterlife. Also, animals can make sounds that relate to them like –
- Faint bark
- Sound of the collar
- Their favourite toy
- Feeling the presence of your dog
Many people say that they have seen their dogs for a brief second. This is due to the attachment and habit of your pet you have. But it can be considered as a sign.
Your pet may give you an illusion of himself for a fraction of a second. This gives hope that the pet is back but then the reality hits hard again.

In Japan and China, white butterflies represent the departed souls of close ones (in humans).
But according to the writer Karen Anderson, this is applicable for pets as well.
Karen Anderson is an afterlife expert and believes that pets can send other insects or animals. Also, place them where the humans will notice.
Hence, based on this assumption, you can say that your doggo is sending signals that e is waiting for you in heaven.
