How long does it take for a dog to die before it can be reborn?

There are different views on this issue in different cultures and beliefs.

According to the Buddhist concept of samsara, dogs will go through the stage of bardo after death. At this stage, there is a transition process from birth to death every seven days, and the longest is generally no more than 49 days (that is, 7749 days). During this period, in most cases, people think that dogs will be reincarnated as any of the six divisions in the wheel of karma according to their behavior, karma and karma: heaven, Asura, human, animal, hungry ghost or hell.

These statements are not scientific facts, but the contents of religious beliefs or folklore. In fact, there is no scientific research to prove the specific time or mechanism of reincarnation for the end and rebirth of life. Therefore, there is more emotional sustenance and spiritual understanding for the whereabouts of pet dogs after death.
