Hi, LLLI,
I can offer a few thoughts, though no real answers.
In the Buddhist view, we can take rebirth in different forms, including animals, depending on karma, etc. In fact, one of the teachings about compassion and kindness is to treat all sentient beings as once having been your mother, because probably they were at one time.
In one of Bob Monroe's books, he tells of a "curl" about to move into a human life who apparently was a first-timer having previously been a pet, probably a dog or cat.
So, I think you can take heart that your dear friend is there in the afterlife.
Pat
