I can no longer conceive of life without pet dogs. I love the way they greet us at the front door whenever we arrive; the way they sit quietly beside us either when we are working or doing nothing in particular; and the way they pad about the house and identify spots of good energy. When they are cozily curled up and napping I feel secure and sense that all is well. And, at night, when they are slumbering in peace, I know that there are no transient spirits that will disturb our sleep.

Pet dogs, cats, and birds do not only protect us from strangers and from thieves. They protect us on astral levels as well.
