They definitely do exist.

Here are some Bible truths that relate to hauntings and visits by the spirits of dead people. There are only a few incidents that deal with the living having contact with a "dead" person.
a) In 1 Samuel 28:7-19, King Saul seeks a woman with a familiar spirit (demon) to inquire of Samuel about what to do. That she actually manages to communicate with the dead shocks her (v. 12) indicating to me that it did not previously happen.
b) In Matthew 17:1-8, Peter, James and John see Moses and Elijah with Jesus for a brief period of time.
c) In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells the story of the rich man and Lazarus. In this story we learn of there being two compartments for the dead until the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11f.). Also in the story the rich man asks for Lazarus to be sent back to warn the living. Moses says it would do not good because if they will not believe God's written word, they will not believe though one should rise from the dead.
From the above three passages of Scripture, I would conclude that there are compartments in which the spirits of the dead dwell for now and that while there are a few instances in which God allowed interaction between the living and the dead, those situations were very rare and not nearly as common as contact between people and angelic beings. Also Luke 16:27-31 would indicate that no human spirits are allowed to return to visit the living without permission, and if permission is not granted for the purpose of warning people to flee from the wrath to come, it would not be given for trifling reasons.
In conclusion, I would say that .... no, your pet is not likely to be back as a spirit. Unless he was trying to warn you about the second coming or something else equally important. :-)

It really depends on your religion and beliefs. Most Christian religions say that animals don't have souls, therefore they can't be ghosts. I personally don't believe they exist only because I'm an atheist and I would need a large amount of proof to truly believe it.

Yes they exist. I saw my cat about a week after he died. I woke up because I felt something laying on my feet, I kicked my legs and he jumped off the bed onto the floor and walked over to the door and sat down. I looked right at him -and he looked right back at me and just faded away to nothing.
A few days later my mom had him visit her in bed, she says she was already half asleep, but he woke her, she felt him beside her. She got up to open the window to let him go outside, just like she always used to. Then she suddenly remembered he had died.
We didn't tell each other about our experiences until months later, as we were both worried neither of us would believe each other.

You said it, girl! Animal ghosts exits, but they don't exist. Human ghosts don't exist either. Many Christians say dead people do not revive until Judgement Day, and atheists say death is final, so here is one point upon which they agree, i.e. that there are no real ghosts of any creatures.

Yes!!! Definately.My dog Sundance ran away in 1987.I searched for her day & night everywhere.Then,,I was sitting in my kitchen at the table across from my brother & I saw her ghost sitting in the chair where she liked to sit.She looked like she had been asleep,,then slowly raised her head & looked at me.She was transparent,,I could see her color but could also see thru her.When I looked at my brother in disbeleif & looked back,,she was gone.I think that was her way to tell me to stop looking,,she was home.
