Product Description
Susan Chernak McElroy credits her astounding triumph over cancer to the love of the animals in her life. In Animals as Teachers & Healers she shares her remarkable story along with true stories from others who have been touched by the loving energies of animals.
A woman escapes an abusive relationship by observing how her boyfriend treated her two Arabian horses . . . a German shepherd cocoons its body around a toddler during a house fire . . . a coyote gives a couple wisdom about their rebellious daughter . . . a little three-legged frog imparts a valuable lesson to a frightened nine-year-old girl. Unique and compelling, Animals as Teachers & Healers invites us to reconnect with the boundless gifts of joy, wisdom, and deep healing that flow from our ageless and intimate relationship with the animal kingdom.

This book is far from what I've expected. I adore animals and I have many of them. Of course that I feel great when I spend my time with them. They are good friends. One of the problems with this book is that the author didn't use the right title; the appropriate title would be " Animals as our friends". The book is actuallly the collection of different stories which the author received from many different people. And, in every story we can see just a good relationship between humans and animals.
I've expected to find out in what way animals could be "used" in some particular treatments. I know that there are some clinics where animals are good "medicaments" for mental patients and not only for them. For example people could soothe their pain in arms or legs with the help of their pets. The pets could lie on the painful spot and their positive energy could reduce the owner's pain or even cure him. So, I've expected that kind of stories...

I thought this book would have information and some facts about how animals help humans, but it doesn't. It is just about her life. Only buy if you are interested in learning about this woman's life.
Beautiful. November 11, 2005

This a truly special book. Beautifully written. I highly recommend it to anyone that has ever had a special bond with an animal, or wishes to try to understand the beneficial presence of animals in our lives.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for a good animal story. If it's happy, I cry; if it's sad, I cry harder. Animal abuse distresses me almost more than anything else.
One of my pleasures is to pick up every book I can on animals and the psychic realm. The books that focus on our intimate connections to the animal kingdom and how we may communicate with them through our intuitive thoughts and feelings are books to not only to learn from, but to savor.
I remember that pioneer in the field, Beatrice Lydecker, whose book was revolutionary when it came out years ago. It was "What the Animals Tell Me", and I was thrilled this work was available to us. The fact that there are so many books about this subject on the market now testifies to the fact that as a people we are really ready to hear the wisdom and love that animals offer. They are not just a food source or slave labor to us any longer.
Ms. McElroy does a beautiful job of bringing forth her message of healing the relationship between people and animals. She comes from a most compassionate, wise place in her understanding of why animals are with us as our companions.
If you want an example of unconditional love, be in the presence of a beloved pet. Never have I, in my life, ever received even close to that level of unconditional love and acceptance that my animal companions have shown me. [Particularly my recently deceased, Francis, who was a very evolved being inhabiting a humble life form. I am planning a future book on this soul.]
Animals are helping us evolve to the realization of our Oneness universe. We are taught by them that there is no separation between us and them. They feel what we feel. They see the spiral of life and death as part of the Wholeness of life.
The author goes into several different topics: animals as guides or guardians, healers, in the dream state or shamanic state, and through the death process. There is no dead weight in this book---all is riveting, and should be read more than once through.
Most highly recommended.
