There is something about the motoring of a cat’s purr or the wagging of a dog’s tail that brings us a certain comfort and delight. Cat memes and pleas for animals to be rescued and adopted have taken over our social media culture, as well as, the stories about animal cruelty around the world that break our collective hearts.

This book of anecdotes collected in a lifetime of loving and working with animals conveys the heart of what they have taught the author and the marvelous lessons and profound wisdom they can teach us, if we choose to pay attention.

In Animal Wisdom, veterinarian and animal intuitive Linda Bender offers us a wealth of extraordinary stories and research-based evidence indicating animals have deeply perceptive—even extrasensory—abilities, especially when love is involved. In addition, she provides 18 step-by-step practices for honing your own natural ability to communicate with animals, so that you too can learn to understand their urgent messages about peace, happiness, and the future of the planet.

Animal and pet lovers, animal-rights activists, and fans of Jane Goodall and Rupert Sheldrake will be deeply touched by this heartwarming book revealing the profound life lessons we can learn from animals, once we learn how to communicate with them as respected other beings.
