This is Iggy. He's five years old, and next week is the one year anniversary of the day I adopted him from the Recolle Animal Shelter. He's not a sociable dog, but he's a friend of mine. I just received a memory about him, or a dog that's similar to him. A Boston Terrier that I called "Iggy" had some sort of power undoubtedly similar to mine, and I saw him take down another man. This makes we wonder: do you our pets could gain superpowers if they have a counterpart in the other worlds?

Not to what I can tell. It's not as if Iggy tells me what he remembers and why he feels confused.
Pet ownership would be hundreds of times easier if that were possible.

[saburai]

Yes, I imagine so...

I was thinking more along the lines of him suddenly being afraid of things he was afraid of in your memories, or liking new activities that he liked then as well.

[prometheanflame]

No, I can't think of anything.

His behavior has improved, but that could be due to training.

[saburai]

If you've been training him, that likely would be the simplest answer...

I suppose that does mean you'd have to wait until he started showing signs of his former abilities, then, to really be able to say for sure.

[prometheanflame]

It may take a few months, if he starts remembering anytime soon.

But does that mean he'll also get an account on Retrospec?

[saburai]

I wonder... but that may be difficult if he doesn't have any electronic devices of his own.

[prometheanflame]

Dogs don't need phones in the first place.

[saburai]

Yes, exactly. It just means that I'm not sure how they would even invite him to be part of the Retrospec community.

[prometheanflame]

If the whole plan is to use our 'souls' to link to worlds, it all depends on whether Retrospec includes only human souls of animal souls.

A dog is different from a bug when it comes to cognitive ability. Iggy has to count.

[saburai]

I'd certainly imagine that animals would count under the soul definition for most people, but with Retrospec, I can't say for sure. They seem to have a very unique approach toward matters, to say the least.
