Can We Really Communicate With Our Animals?

By Soo Winter

Can animals talk? Can they really communicate with us? I often wondered about this myself. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always felt a really close bond with them, but to talk to them? Was animal communication possible? I wasn't sure; it all seemed like realms of fantasy, however enduring.

At the age of ten I was taken to see the original Dr. Doolittle film staring Rex Harrison. I was transfixed! Here was a man who could really talk to the animals! With my sweets left untouched, I sat on the edge of my seat completely captivated by this magical film.

The film was so beautiful it awoke a deep passion in me. Now I knew who I was going to be. I was going to be like Dr. Doolittle. I would share my life with these amazing creatures and would spend my time talking with them and healing them.

Sadly my dad didn't share in my dreams. He was rather perplexed when he told me the film wasn't real, it was purely a piece of fantasy. You can't talk to the animals, and they can't talk to you. After all, they are only animals!

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.

I was communicating with my dog! Sullivan confirmed it by sending me the words, 'I've come to help you.' And help me he did. He taught me my first lessons in animal communication, pushing through all my adult doubts and resurrecting the child who 'believed.'

So I started my training as an animal communicator and it opened up my world. My dream came true all thanks to Sullivan, the dog who proved that animal communication is real, and I could do it!
