Patty Summers has a remarkable gift--she talks with animals. She doesn't just talk to animals, she converses with them. A regular Doctor Dolittle, Summers shares stories of the animals in her life--dogs, cats, and even an iguana named Quasar. Talking with the Animals will bring a smile to your face, and sometimes a tear to your eye, but there is more here than a human interpretation of animal antics. These stories are told as much by the animals themselves and will teach you as much about the humans on this planet as they do about the furry, feathered, and scaly creatures we share our lives with. --Brian Patterson
Product Description
Is it really possible to talk with animals? Or at least to realize that they are talking to us all the time? Patty Summers listens and understands. An "animal communicator," Summers can converse directly with a variety of animal species, from cats and dogs to rabbits, horses, and iguanas. In this beautiful and moving book, the animals share their wisdom, their perspective on life, and even how they feel about human beings. The animals can teach us many things, and Summers uses her abilities to help humans listen and to aid humans and animals in understanding one another better. She also describes the ways that animals comprehend the world, and explains that they always understand the intent of human communications, if not the words. And she teaches that they share our wants and needs, as they desire the same things that humans do: love, compassion, kindness, and respect; and they do not want to be thought of as pets or as beings to be exploited. Summers shares numerous encounters with animals, and each story has a valuable lesson - each is a gift of spirit from the animals. We have so much to learn from our animal companions, domestic and otherwise. Talking with the Animals provides a rare glimpse inside the minds of the creatures with whom we share our planet.

Moving stories for Animal Lovers April 22, 2008
Antigone Walsh
This lovely book by animal communicator Patty Summers contains moving stories from animals she met while developing her skills. As she learns to trust in her heart and intuition, she realizes that all beings, furred, feathered or scaled, all have something important to contribute. A gentle guide, she encourages the reader to acknowledge and celebrate all sentient beings.
While other books focus on technique (see anything by Marta Williams or Amelia Kincade), this one opens a wonderful world of possibility. If I have one quibble, it is that the messages from the animals at the end of each chapter sound alike...and an awful bit like AL Gore..but overall this is a heartwarming delight.
Awesome!!!!!! March 30, 2003

The author, Patty, shares her special spiritual gift with us, so we can all become more sensitive and in tune with what our animals are feeling and thinking. Will touch your heart, and raise your awareness of the intelligence and feelings of our "dumb friends".

for those who appreciate non humans...if more people read this book, maybe they wouldn't be so inclined to abuse animals.
Thanks Patty Summers.
