Wow. Very enlightening and engaging. I totally agree about dogs (and all animals) having souls. And yes, once you’ve been to the heart of this thing called “ life” you are never the same precisely because your ego has dissembled itself and in this sense there is a “rebirth” - dear Bowie understood these incarnations and followed them through to his exit from this existence on this planet and I like to think he now resides from whence he came - “Is there life on Mars?” And no, I’m not stoned either 😉
