Meet the Real Dr. Dolittle

     You seem to be communicating with your favorite companion but are you certain that you understand what is being said?  Is it possible to correctly interpret that “sad” look from your dog? What is your “ talkative” cat saying? “Anyone can communicate with animals,” says author Patty Summers, in her new book Talking With the Animals. “It is the universal language, the thought or idea before the words.” 
     
     In this fascinating collection of conversations and stories, Summers teaches that animals desire the same things that humans do–love, companionship, kindness–and in allowing ourselves to open up to real communication we can begin to create stronger bonds with the animal world through mutual respect and understanding. Talking With the Animals  brings us closer to that understanding while expanding our awareness of ourselves. As these stories unfold we begin to realize that we have much to learn from our animal companions, domestic and otherwise. As Patty Summers tells us, “Animals have so much to share. Open yourself to the possibility.”
