Can animals really communicate?

Contributed by: Donna Hoffman on 3/14/2008

The advertisement in the Lakewood Hub announced that you should bring your animal with you for the appointment. Just for kicks, I brought my little pound puppy to Journey Books on a Saturday morning to meet with an animal communicator. I had always been a little curious about my dog's past, but more skeptical about anyone being able to actually communicate with her.

The session began at a folding table with two chairs across from each other. With my dog on my lap, the animal communicator reached out to her and gently stroked both sides of her head and then her body. She asked me if I had any questions for her, and being a bit nervous, I quickly said no. The silence and the stroking continued for about five minutes. She spoke softly and said that Sophie was really quiet and wasn't saying much. Then she mentioned that Sophie had not always been with me. Surprised, I nodded. She then continued to mention incidental behaviors that were spot on for Sophie. Moments later, she took a deep breath, looked at me with tears in her eyes, and said that Sophie was very abused in the early stages of her life, but with me she felt safe. Feeling the pain of the abuse Sophie had endured, she continued on, telling me bits and pieces that only my dog and I would know. She really was communicating with her.

The session flew by like seconds, and I didn't want it to be over. Sophie was starting to relax, and information was flowing back and forth quickly. She told the animal communicator that she was with me because I had a "big" heart. Then she started to laugh because Sophie corrected her. Sophie was with me because I had a "bad" heart, and she was in my life to relieve any stress.

I had lost my father and two brothers to heart attacks. I thought I was next until I had a comprehensive heart scan completed just weeks before. All was negative and my heart is good.

I certainly look at my dog a lot differently these days. I strongly believe that animals do communicate with us. Sometimes we just need a bridge to close the gap between humans and animals, and this communicator did that.

Her name was Lorraine May and she has a foundation called the Misha May Foundation. You should check out her website at www.mishamayfoundation.org/events.htm.
