A Sign from our dog Sprite's spirit while on Vacation!

One of the ways our pets in spirit let us know they are around is to lead us to another dog that resembles them. That's exactly what happened when we took a vacation in Greece in Sept. 2021.

One of the islands we visited was Santorini.  We visited the picturesque town of Oia which is famous for "cave houses" which are white buildings with brilliant blue church rooftops. During the one hour we walked around in the maze of streets filled with shops, the heat index was again over 100 degrees Fahrenheit /37.7 degrees Celsius, and it was a sunny day - truly a "dog day of summer."  

Being dog dads, we really missed our two dogs at home, and had only seen a few dogs (maybe 2) during our trip.

While getting lost in the maze of tiny alleyways of shops, we just "happened" to walk by a dress shop where we saw a little red, smooth, dachshund mix laying in a comfy bed in the doorway of a dress shop. He also had a little stuffed lamb toy, just like our kids have. 

   Further, he resembled our dog Sprite (who passed in 2013) who was also a red, smooth Dachshund mix! 

  That told us that Sprite was with us on vacation! 

   You never know when a loved one is going to show up and lead you to someone that looks like them - That's one way spirits tell us they are with us.  

   As it turned out, the little dog sat there only a few minutes and went back inside because of the volume of tourists walking by. So, we walked by at the right time to get a good glimpse of him. That's not a coincidence. That was Sprite's doing! 

 Just seeing him in the midst of the tourist chaos made our day.

Coming in January! Pets and the Afterlife 3: Signs from Spirit Dogs, by Rob Gutro

 Final edits are being done, the cover of Rob Gutro's new book is being completed and in January, 2021 watch for the publication of Pets and the Afterlife 3: Signs from Spirit Dogs!

  I'm so excited to get the third volume of Pets and the Afterlife books out- and this one focuses exclusively on signs from dogs, AND there's a special chapter from my good friend Dr. William Charmak about how to better cope with grief and loss. 

  It will be available on Amazon.com in paperback and e-book sometime in January (as long as I get the edits done!).  The stories are Amazing!! Between messages I received from dogs in spirit to signs that others shared with me - they will give you hope, smiles, chills and comfort that your pet is with you. -  Rob Gutro, Author
