How the dog found himself a master story?

A Story of a Dog and His Master in the Invisible World

Moral Short Stories for Children

Christopher, who lives in the invisible world, is about to tell his Mother a story of a dog and his master in the invisible life.

Chapter One

A dog's master has died, and his dog is very upset―

He cannot make out where his master has gone.

The dog's master is in the invisible world, as you are in the visible world, and he is unable to make his presence known. 

He sees the dog's affection and longs to comfort him.

Chapter Two

The dog was given to his master's sister, who is a lady clairvoyant. Clairvoyants have an unexplainable ability to know things that others cannot. The dog senses this, and feels that she can help him―

He still wants his master, but he is happier.

Chapter Three

The sister sees the master, and tells his dog, who can sense his master is near―

He wags his tail violently, hoping for more.

The master can make his presence known to the dog by his sense of smell, and can make happen and appear a human scent. 

The dog recognises this, as his master's. 

Quite reassured by this, he gets very fond of the sister, her family and friends, and she often tells him his master is near.

As the dog got ill, and died a few days ago, his master, a friend of Christopher's, has him at Christopher's place, and he told Christopher this tale. 

He and Christopher's cats are great pals already, and much happier than before.
