Yesterday my mom and I watched a few movies on Netflix. I do not know what had gotten into me that I agreed to watch some movies. Most of you may already have an idea on what I am going to talk about based from the title itself, A Dog's Journey. Yes, it was the movie that we first watched yesterday afternoon and we were in tears but not like bucket of tears that we had with Hachiko.
Ever since I was a kid, I really love dogs even before we had our first dog. I believe it was my first ever heartbreak when our dog died. We never saw her after we found out from our neighbor that she was hit by a car inside our subdivision. It was a hit and run case and our neighbor who happens to do her afternoon gardening saw that our dog was lying on the middle of the street. She placed her on the side so she can tend to her wound. She went inside to get a first aid kit but when she went back, our dog was no longer on the spot where she left her.
When we came back after school, my brother and I were really worried because she was not in front of our gate nor thus she was barking from the inside our house. Thinking about it, I do not know why we she was outside our house whenever we were at school. My mom was also out because she would drive us to and from school that she would just wait in a mall while we are still at school. I remember that our dog would follow us a few distance outside our subdivision but she would also come back home. There were also times that she does not want to stay on the street and would just chill inside the house.
So when we knew that she was not home yet, my we were all worried. My mom even told us that maybe she got lost on her way back to our house. Then our neighbor told my mom about what happened and we were really sad when our mom told us about it. Our first dog was the sweetest, most obedient, smart and loyal that we had plus she had never bitten anyone. Our neighbor told us that probably the reason why she left when she was suppose to be treated was because maybe our dog does not want us to see her in pain.
Even if we never saw her until she breathe her last, she will always be remembered. Now that we have 2 dogs, I cannot help but to think if it is really possible for a dog to come back. Before anything else, have you watched the movie? I do not want to spoil you so I would understand if you are not going to finish reading this.
A Dog's Journey is a story about a dog. He died a few times but was able to reborn into a different breed and gender each time. The owner of Bailey (dog) was the grandfather of the lead character. Before Bailey breathed his last, the grandfather whispered to him that he still has to watch over his granddaughter. And then poof, he was reborn again and fate has always brought them together but there were moments that they would just meet but would not have a happy ending. It was only during Bailey's last reborn when he was able to witness a lot of events in Hannah's life and Hannah realizes that the dogs that she had met in the past were all his godfather's dog who was reborn in different breeds, different gender in different times.
While we were watching the movie, Doggo, went up to the couch and rolled over when I went to the kitchen to get some chips. When I got back, I played with him and hugged him while I was crying because of the movie. I even gave him some belly rubs and in my thoughts I was telling him that he and Doggie should be reborn again and that they should also find me so that they will still be with me until I get old.
Honestly, I always tell to Doggie to always be at my side and to never leave me no matter what. I always tell him that we still have a lot of years to be together. I feel like he understood the things that I kept on telling him. Because whenever I would pee, he will also go with me. If I am in the shower, he would also be by the shower sitting while looking at me. There was even a time that he really wanted to go inside the shower that is why I will only leave a small space when I would close the sliding door. My dad even said that Doggie only listens to me. He is always at my side like a true bestfriend who always got my back. Doggie was even whimpering when he could not see me after my surgery last year. I was quarantined and he kept on sniffing and crying outside my door. Even more so when he heard my voice or when I whistled. I was only able to took 1 short video of him that time. It was really painful for me to be apart with him.
I know there are some of you who are also a dog lover. I have read some of your happy memories with your dogs and even some heartbreaking stories. Would you also want your dog to stay beside you until you grow old? I mean do you also still want them to be reborn into a different breed? For me, I really want to be with them until we get old. I also want the the 3 of us to cross that bridge (if in case I will go to heaven) all together. I apologize if I sounded too selfish saying about it. I think anyone who have had a dog would also want to be with them forever.
Do you think it is even possible for dogs to be reborn as dogs again and that they would still remember us? My mom and I were even asking each other how would we be able to notice that they were our dogs if they would be reborn if they only knew a few tricks or basic commands? Or would our dog still remembers us if we meet them in heaven? I have no idea with what happens next but I am positive that all dogs go to heaven.
Before I forget. "It's October 3rd." Ifyou have watched Mean Girls then you would know why I emphasized on that one. LOL. But other than that, today is my 10th monthsary. It's my 304th day and have already published 284 articles making this 285. It feels like it was just yesterday when I have made a compilation of almost all of my articles when I reached 200 articles. Can you still remember that challenging compilation? LOL. Can't wait for my anniversary.
Again, thank you to all of you who constantly reads, comments, likes, upvotes and sponsors me. I would not have made it this far without you guys. I love you all!
P.S. lead image is a photo of Doggo and Doggie.
Eight Below had me emotional when I watched it. I have to to watch A Dog's Journey. I think I wouldn't like my pets to be reincarnated to that I can share my love to other dogs who needed it :)
