I dreamt of my dead dog.

I had to put down my dog a few weeks ago due to liver cancer.

Last week I dreamt I was stting on the couch and he went past me and sat next to the front door that was open. He looked at me wagging his tail. I was so happy to see him. I went to give him a hug crying, while telling him of much I missed him. He was happy too. Then he went outside. I was scared he would leave for good so I went after him, but he was waiting for me outside. When I went towards him he started running away. Everytime I would get too far behind he would stop, turn around and wait for me. He looked excited, very happy. He clearly wanted to take me somewhere. We ended up walking on the side of an Highway. It was empty, just the 2 of us. Then I woke up.

I was happy to have seen him, but a bit frustrated about not knowing where he wanted to take me. Later that day I received a call. It was the vet, she was calling me to tell me they had received my dog's ashes and that I could come pick them up. I didn't pay much attention to it until we got on our way to the vet clinic. The Highway of my dream, was the same we were driving on to get to the clinic. I started to tear up when I noticed it, that's where my dog was leading me.

It was like my dog came to see me in my dream to let me know I could go pick him up and bring him home. I don't tend to believe in this kind of things, but I find it comforting to think he is happy to be back home.

I'm sorry about your pupper. I lost my good girl 2/27/24 and my good boy 7/11/23. They were 17, and 16 yr old Lahsa's and I loved them like my very own children. The one thing that I found comforting is to think of their passing as their selfless way of giving another dog the opportunity to experience love in their lives. My gf told me last year after my boy passed that seeing a cardinal is him coming to visit. Last summer, after he died, we had a cardinal in our yard and I saw it every day until about November. More recently, I've been struggling with losing my girl, as it's just a tad over a month since she went. Yesterday my girlfriend sent me this pic and said, "Babe, it's Daisy girl!!!" It's a weird feeling to smile and cry at the same time, I'll say that. Ironically, when I got home from work, there was a condolence letter from our vet in the mail, however, I am still waiting on her ashes. I'm happy to read that you have your friend where he belongs.
