What you say is correct.
I’ve had deceased pets appear to people and greet them at death.
In 2016 I was with a woman when she died of bone cancer. She heard her corgies barking several days prior to her departure. I heard them too even before she mentioned it. They were there to greet her.
Animals have souls that are similar to humans in many ways.

I am so glad to hear this. There are some dogs and and cats I want to see again. I also want to see my grandmothers and my great aunt. My uncle. I was sick in the hospital with a sinus infection as a young mother with children. I had been unhappy in my marriage. Tired. Not loved, in a critical environment. Spirits came to me and said I had done enough and I could come home. The choice was mine. I thought about it and decided my two year old little boy needed me and I would stay. In the days following healing powers were zinging around me healing me and I was able to get better and go home. Exactly one year later, my beautiful daughter was born. My life was not easy, but the fear of death was gone, it would have been easy to slip through at that moment in the hospital, just a letting go. So I know there is a lot we don’t know.
Nothing can kill a soul that God created. It can be shackled, hindered, and sidetracked though.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful experience.
It is important to always look upward in prayer for advice. There are lower level impostors that can appear as lost loved ones. I’ve encountered this with people many times.
