Summary: a little too "touchy feely"
Review: What I liked about the book was that it gave me validations on some "communications" I've received from my dogs. Their communication came to me the way she said they could. Their thought or opinion just flashed into my brain from their brain. They don't have to be looking at you; thoughts from them just come, like she says in her book. She says to be "open" to your animal, to let them "say" whatever they want. I did this, and one of my adopted strays brought up things like "I've had a hard life" and "I had to run from cars a lot". When I asked my other dog about her previous life (also a rescue dog) she said "I was bad", meaning she fought w/the other household dogs.
Now, my husband would say that I picked up these things because of prior information I may have already known about them, or was obvious. But after reading her book, I don't think so...
I also liked how she taught us how to communicate with our minds to our animals, explaining things clearly to them. The dogs act like they aren't paying attention, but they are-- just like she says in her book.
I don't have the time or patience to "meditate" for long periods, as she recommends, in order to reach your "center" where you can communicate w/animals. That part seemed a little too touchy feely.
I am glad I read this book, and glad that I have it on my bookshelf. It had some helpful "tidbits" and the examples of what SHE did were interesting to read but don't think it is practical enough to recommend. I certainly don't feel like I can go out and understand the thoughts of animals because I read this book, but maybe it's because I'm not willing to put in all the "touchy feely" time that may be needed to do it. However, it did give me a few tips for communicating w/my own dogs.

Summary: Opens Your Heart
Review: Wow, so many kind words, so little space. This book is for every animal lover that knew their animal was trying to tell them something, but just wasn't quite sure. After reading Carol's book, you will know what your animal is trying to say. Carol's book is so wonderful, so easy to read, which makes her teaching's easy to understand and practice. I have purchased copies for my friends, and they are now communicating with their animals. Make sure once you have opened the book, you have enought time to finish it. You will not want to put it down. You will also need a box of kleenex for Carol's touching stories. Animals are so very special and do so much for us. This book will help you do something for them. Hear them, love them and understand them! From my heart to yours, Thank you Carol:)
