* It might seem odd that "Horse Dog" seemed to be the same one Bailey remembered from his earlier life despite it being several reincarnations later. But donkeys can actually live a surprisingly long time, over 40 years. And it was a young donkey when Bailey met it. So while it would be an old donkey near the end of it's life it's actually quite possible that several incarnations and decades later that donkey would still be alive and at the farm.

Indeed we see a picture of the man and a woman, presumably his wife, on his nightstand. While it's not clear if the woman died or divorced him, either way, this poor man just suffered TWO major losses in his life.
