Sonya Fitzpatrick, the Pet Psychic: What the Animals Tell Me (ISBN 0425192903)

similar titles - same book:
I enjoyed the book very much. It shows you how to get under the skin of the animal and understand it, even if you are not able to "talk" eith them. I just want to warn all Fitzpatrick readers be carful with buying. In my eager wish to buy everything from her, I bought two of the same books: one is paperback What the animals tell me, the other hardcover The Pet Psychic, What the animals tell me. I thought this was a different book, but it wasn't.

An Easy, Joyful Read:
Fans of Sonya will breeze through this book & gain further appreciation for their animal companions with her fabulous insite. Some stories inspire laughs, others tears and you walk away with newfound respect for all animals. The reader doesn't necessarily need to believe in "psychic" powers to walk away enlightened, simply have a love for animals & a desire to better understand them.

Beautiful, Intriguing, Enlightening.:
It was not until I had spoken to Sonya in person that I had even known about her book, and I could not be happier that I picked it up. Each reader ultimately has to decide for him or herself how they think of Sonya and what they believe, but my own experiences make me a firm believer of her gifts and her abilities. It truly is an amazing thing to witness. The stories in this book in which Sonya recounts her childhood and her early life are both intriguing and delightful. I found myself laughing aloud at some parts, and fighting back tears at others. She recounts several instances of communicating with and healing animals that really give great insight into who she is and exactly what she does. There is a special section devoted to pet companions who have passed on, how to cope with the event and where they go, how according to Sonya, they never truly leave us. Having just recently lost my dog of 13 years, my childhood best friend, this section brought about several moments of bittersweet tears. Though it can be an emotional passage to read through, it has made me feel phenomenally better having read it. If you are looking for a guide to communicating with your animal, this is not a book of detailed instruction for doing so. Sonya does give brief introduction and instruction to basic communication, and explains that the ability to communicate with animals lies within each of us, but that is not what the core of this book is about. Overall, I give this book 5 stars, and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who has ever had a special furry friend in their lives.

Set aside your skepticism and you may just learn something:
Even if you don't believe in psychic communication, it's undeniable that if you value your pet, you do feel a strong connection with him or her. Sonya shares how she communicates psychically with animals and offers advice on how you can do the same. She also shares stories about animals she's talked to and how it changed their lives and the lives of their owners. Whether or not you believe it, is irrelevant. The stories are heartwarming, compelling and engaging. While you might not be having detailed conversations with Kitty or Fido, it's a good thing to be more aware and sensitive to what your pet may be communicating. Even if you're only watching body language, the key is that you are paying attention to your pet. You'll learn that they really do express themselves, their eyes do communicate emotions and sometimes you might just get a feeling that Fido or Kitty needs something from you such as a walk or litter box change. Learning to be more conscious of our pets' needs and emotions, can also teach us how to better understand humans. There are hundreds of books on how to "read people". It's unfortunate that simply because Sonya's book has the word, "psychic" on the cover, there are some readers who ridicule it.

Endearing, Charming Book--and Helps with Animal Communication Too :):
Sure, there is only one chapter specifically on how to telepathically communicate with animals, but it is that easy! The stories on what animals tell her are endearing and can't help but make me see animals in a new, more charming light. For more exercises to become more intuitive and/or communicate with animals, I recommend Sonia Fitzpatrick's Cat Talk, Creating Money: Magnetizing Yourself. Orin Meditations, Personal Power Through Awareness: A Guidebook for Sensitive People (Book II of the Earth Life Series) and others on meditation.
