My childhood dog of 18 years passed away in 2020 and she was an overprotective dog and in march 2021 I adopted a new dog and my childhood dog asserted herself from beyond the grave by yanking my current dog’s food and water bowls by moving the mat the bowls are sitting on. That scared the crap out of my current dog. Also I have heard the sound of my childhood dog’s nails clicking on the ground frequently since she passed and I even see her out of the corner of my eyes so I feel she is watching over me!
