The animal?s Astral Body quickly dissolves as the individual cells die upon the general death of
the animal?s physical vehicle.

Well..considering my out of body experience with my husband's dog..with whom I had no particular relationship...who had died two years previously..I have to disagree with the above statement...unless there is some other explaination such as the husband's devotion to the dog has kept the dog bound in some way to the astral aura of the husband. Or perhaps "quickly" refers to a different time zone in the astral plane where years may be but a second.
