I did a ritual asking for a familiar, then found a small dog with no collar or microchip. A vet checked him, and he’s become very attached to me. I’m wondering whether to treat that timing as meaningful, or just a striking coincidence.
Could a dog showing up after a familiar ritual be a sign?

You can let it mean something to you without needing to prove that magic caused it. Maybe the useful part is the bond and the care you’re choosing to give him. I’d still make sure you’ve taken reasonable steps to find out whether someone is looking for him.

Before deciding he’s yours, report him as found to the relevant local animal services or shelter and share a basic notice through appropriate local channels. No chip or collar doesn’t necessarily mean nobody is missing him. Keep any identifying details private so a possible owner can describe him accurately.

On the spiritual side, I’d read this gently. A familiar doesn’t have to arrive through a dramatic supernatural event, but a coincidence can’t establish that the dog was sent by spirits either. You can stay curious and build your own meaning over time, while making his health, safety, and possible previous home the practical priorities.
