A paucity of literature exists for pediatric near-death experiences with only thirteen cases reported thus far. Morse and his colleagues have called for additional well-documented cases to further our knowledge of children's near-death experiences. The present case study is of a boy who had an NDE due to nearly drowning when he was seven years old. Besides adding to the sparse pediatric NDE population, this case presents a variation of the tunnel experience not before reported in either the adult or the pediatric NDE literature. Instead of seeing deceased friends or relatives or sensing a presence while in the tunnel, this boy was comforted by two of his family's pets who had died prior to the near-drowning incident
