Animal Communication

Pam Rudy was baffled when her adopted golden retriever, Ginger, was going to the bathroom just about everywhere except in the backyard.

After cleaning up mess after mess in her dining room, closet and near her bedside, Rudy sought medical advice. But to her disappointment, the vet found nothing physically wrong with the pooch.

"I was willing to try anything...nothing was working," remembers Rudy, a Larchmont Village resident.

With that, she hired an animal communicator, Laura Stinchfield in Ventura County, to learn what Ginger was thinking.

A few days and $75 later, Rudy received an e-mail of dialogue between the communicator and Ginger that explained the dog's bizarre behavior.

"I pee in the house because I get scared to go outside by myself," Ginger said telepathically, according to Stinchfield. "I just don't like to do it. It frightens me."

Stinchfield's communication revealed that there was an animal—possibly a raccoon—that scared Ginger at night when she was in the dark backyard. The pet said she would feel safer if a light was on, or if someone accompanied her outdoors in the front yard at night.

So Rudy walked her pet in the front yard near street lights.

"The problem went away," she said.

Looking back, Rudy said the experience made her a believer in pet psychics. For one thing, the communicator knew nothing about Rudy's other golden retriever, Rusty, who grew inseparable from Ginger after she was adopted.

In the transcript, "Ginger refers to Rusty as her brother, which is what we call him at home," Rudy said.

Twenty years ago, there was only a handful of known animal communicators in the world. Now, hundreds of them are working with animals to figure out behavior and moods that traditional medical practices cannot pinpoint.

Animal communication is considered the transfer of pictures of images from the animal's brain to the human. This exchange is also known as telepathy.

Larchmont Animal Clinic veterinarian Jan Ciganek said he believes in animal communication to the extent that pet owners can relay feelings through their actions and tone of voice.

"People can communicate with animals...pets know what you want just by your body language and words," he said.
