Say “no”. That sort of thinking can lead to someone wanting to “take my dog with me”. Being dead will be just like it was before you were born; you don’t need a guide.
This conversation reminds me so much of the Twilight Zone episode “The Hunt” with Arthur Hunnicutt and Jeanette Nolan. It’s always been one of my favorite episodes — about an old man and his beloved hunting dog, Rip. You can watch it online.

You’re asking the wrong spiritual guide — talk to the tree!

Wait until the leaves come on the tree (spring – or never) because you’ll get no vocal answer from the dog!

I don’t know whether it’s true that dogs are our spiritual guides, but they do make us a little more humane.

You must be thinking of cats. Dogs are pack animals who follow the strongest.

No, not dogs. Crows, certainly, and often Coyote, but take his advice warily.

Dogs have an excellent sense of direction, Why not? Do I get a doggie treat or not?……

“Are you asking if it’s true that Native Americans believed that, or if we dogs really do possess such supernatural abilities?”
