Is Animal Communication Possible?

I was introduced to animals as a small child and always felt more relaxed and sure of myself whilst in their company. Often I wondered as I chatted away to them, how much they understood. Could they talk? Was animal communication real?

By the age of 10 I was convinced you really could talk to the animals. My bond with them was so close, and I knew they understood me. Having watched the original Dr. Doolittle film staring Rex Harrison, I was convinced I was right.

That innocent childlike film stirred so many passions within me. I knew the animals were special, and somewhere in the deep recesses of my soul I knew they could talk. I was ecstatic and very enthusiastic about my future as an animal communicator.

To my utter dismay my dad squashed my hopes before the dream had even started. He told me animal communication wasn't real. The film was purely make believe, you can't really talk to the animals. I cried myself to sleep.

This angered and upset me but at the age of 10 you don't question your parents. Happily many years later, when I had already over turned many of my parents' ideals, a troubled border collie called Sullivan took charge.

Sullivan's long illness had upset the whole family and I was uncertain of the outcome. One night as I sat with him pondering on his future I was suddenly aware of images in my mind; his birth, his mother and his illness.

It didn't hit me at first that I was communicating with my dog; all I was aware of was his illness and sadness. I was also puzzled. How could he help me? I was supposed to be helping him!

As the weeks passed it became obvious that Sullivan had come to help me learn animal communication. He had somehow got through my doubts and spoke to me. Bless him! Having realised my dream was within my grasp, I took my animal communication studies seriously. I now speak dog, cat, horse, rabbit and fish and I don't need the stethoscope!
