What would you do if your most beloved pet showed up to guide you home upon time for your death?

Both my parents opted to go into hospice once they knew the end was near. While still at home, my Mom’s parents & her favorite Aunt came to visit with her. When Dad’s time came, it was my Mom who came to let him know it was his time. I was visiting with a friend in hospice today. She is very close to the end & never realized that I was there. While there, she was talking to her beloved dog who left us years ago. She was petting her & asking her to wait just a little bit longer because she didn’t feel well enough to go out & play. I’m aware that it’s normally a loved one who comes to lead us home, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a pet showing up. According to the hospice nurse, this is becoming more commonplace. Would you prefer to be comforted by your all-time favorite pet or a family member who went before you?
