Author Description
Talk with the animals - something we can all do! Now you can communicate better with your animals. All you need is a love and understanding of them as individuals and personalities in their own right, and a willingness to listen, watch and learn. Ann Walker shares with us a lifetime of experiences and shows how the rewards of 'getting through' to animals can be worthwhile - even spectacular. Her own affinity with donkeys, ponies, mules, cats, dogs and sheep has had some surprising results at times! This book explains why animals are valuable companions for young and old, for the sick and disabled, and as partners for the blind. Ann Walker, popular Prime Time columnist and animal breeder, will help you develop day-to-day understanding with the animals who share your life.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
The core question investigated is how humans can develop a deeper, more effective method of communication with the animals in their lives. Ann Walker, an experienced animal breeder and columnist, utilizes her lifetime of observations and practical interactions with various species to argue that animal communication is a skill accessible to anyone willing to observe and listen. She presents a framework based on empathy, patience, and the recognition of animals as distinct individuals with unique personalities.
