The Buddhist "code of ethics" is the Vinaya, and Buddhists deny there being an ultimate, inccoruptible soul. The closest thing to the soul is the awareness of mind, and the alaya that holds and stores karmic actions and effect, in the subconcious.

Buddhists do not believe in a permanent soul or self.

Instead, there is a continuation of mind, but this is an ever-changing process, and the mind/consciousness changes continually.

Within Buddhism, there exist many somewhat different philosophical explanations of this 'selflessness' or 'emptiness'. Despite this being a very difficult discussion, it is very essential to Buddhist thought, because only when a person realizes this truth about the self, can he or she achieve enlightenment and release from the cycle of rebirth and suffering.

-------------------------------------------------------------

There is no soul and everything is impermanent. This is a very basic teaching of the Buddhism.

Simply, all living beings will reborn after death if they haven't attained Nirvana (enlightenment). But there is no soul which is going from birth to birth. So after reborn, there will be a different person but having same Karmas done in the cycle of rebirth (Samsara). Re-born being will have the similar qualities as previous life.

According to Buddhism do dogs have souls?

All sentient beings can attain Buddhahood; dogs, cats, insects, etc. But as for the idea of a "soul," even humans don't have "souls" as they are commonly understood in Western thought (an unchanging personal principle that continues in time infinitely). This is the concept of "soul" usually implicit when one begins with the assumptions of a theistic religion. On the other hand, if by soul we mean simply that beings (including dogs) have a spiritual aspect that is not ultimately bound up with physical processes, then Buddhism would be much more sympathetic to the idea. Buddhism may deny the existence of a "soul" but it is not for that reason "soul-less" in the same way as is materialist philosophy.
