First, please accept my condolences. I know how difficult that can be.
Animals belong to the same evolutionary pathway and swarm of souls as humans. We're just a little ahead of them -- and in the case of animals as intelligent and sensitive as dogs, the gap isn't much. One of the benefits that animals can receive from companionship with human beings, in fact, is that if they're close to making the leap to our level, our presence and company can jumpstart the process by a kind of induction. Thus you may very well see your friend again -- and next time he may be in a human body.
