I've seen this apparition of a dog three times. At first I thought it was my dog astral projecting because at the time this happened I found out he was asleep and they are the same type of dog. Well, I saw it yesterday night and I thought it looked like my dog but when I looked around the corner my dog was standing there, looking down at the ground and I realized they look nothing alike except that they are the same type of dog(which is a white labrador retriever) and they are about the same height. For some reason the apparition disappeared and I saw my dog look up at me and he was totally fine, no longer just randomly looking down at the floor, not moving at all from that spot. What happened? Also, I probably should put that the first time I ever saw it I thought it was my dog so I called it by my dog's name and it ran into the living room. For some reason the first time I happened I had a feeling to go in the hallway, into my Mom's room and my dog was sleeping there. The first time I didn't get a very good look at the dog apparition but when I compared them mentally the color of the fur was much lighter than my dog's and there was no hint of a bit of yellow on the fur. What's happening? Is it my dog astral projecting? Or is it a spirit feeding off my dog's energy? I think it's a spirit but I really need an opinion on what's going on. Thanks for the help in advance.
