Ok I admit this could be wishful thinking but maybe not. I've also no idea how long reincarnation takes. In July 2012 I lost a dog in a serious car accident he was only 5. As I was also in the car accident don't remember anything about it luckily I had a month in hospital and another month back home coming to terms with losing my dog that was by far worst thing about the accident. I was in coma a week and needed Physio to walk again but that was nothing at side of losing my dog. My nan brought me another dog as a pup. By time I got him I was ready for another dog and he has helped me move on. It's only now I've started thinking about reincarnation and things why I think it could maybe my last dog reincarnated. 2 things that make me think this are when we first got my current dog he was 7 week old and seemed to settle in as soon as he arrived yet now he doesn't like any changes. It was like he knew he would be happy here. 2 he isn't keen on traveling in cars even tho he is used to it and goes places he likes in car he still doesn't like it. We have had times about 2 or 3 when he knows he's going in car and he point blank refuses. My other dog was always on back seat without a harness as he was well behaved and that was the reason he was killed but very likely would of been killed with harness on it was that bad of crash. Since getting my current dog he always has harness on in car but even with that on he isn't keen on going in. We don't force him but encourage and he will normally get in.

It could be, the dog that died is now with you in ghost form. Still living with his family. I wonder if the few times the new dog refused to get in the car is because the ghost dog was already sitting there?

If humans are able to reincarnate, all living beings should be able to too. To say your new dog is the reincarnation of your past dog is a bit of stretch if you take into mind how many living beings are cycled around. It's more likely your new dog is very similar in terms of temperament.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.

I know some people who believe that we reincarnate in groups. That is our friends and family and contacts now are the same ones we have been involved with in previous lives. Not saying I think this way but I know people who do.

If anything reincarnates, I don't see a single reason why dogs and other animals wouldn't.

In the doctrine of Buddhism, there are 6 planes of existence. A dog may not necessarily reincarnate back as a dog.

According to this
book of Buddha, there's 31 planes of existence. This is straight from a Mahindarama Buddist Temple in Malaysia.

Okay, I hate admitting this, but I will. I met a guy with a dog one day, a tiny, white, fluffy puppy on a leash that wasn't more than a few months old. For all the world it reminded me of my old dog that I'd had to have put to sleep only a few years before that. When I went to pet the puppy it jumped back and cowered from me as if afraid, so I got down on one knee and made a little motion on the floor as I used to do with my old dog with my hand to the floor like a crawling spider or as if I was scratching the floor. The puppy immediately lay down and "crawled" to me and I petted it, just like my old dog had been trained to do.
Do I actually think this was my reincarnated dog? No. Just a coincidence. But it makes me feel good to think that my old dog has a new body and is living in a nice place.

Originally there were 5 planes of existence ie the gods, humans, animals, ghosts and hell beings. Later on they divided the gods realm into 2. The devas and the asuras. Asuras are demi gods. They are very jealous and full of hatred. In the heaven where the gods dwell has over 30 levels. Probably this is what you were referring to.

Probably both of you knew each other in your past lives.
