Book Description

September 1, 1998

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.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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

5.0 out of 5 stars This book touched my heart at a very deep level., October 23, 1998
By 
kkleve@richmond.net (Midlothian, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talking With the Animals (Paperback)
Read this book, savor it. Learn with your heart from the stories within. Patty has worked for many years with animals of just about every personality and character. True acceptance of every animal spirit is a strong current flowing throughout this book. For some of the animals are by no means saints, and all stories do not have fairy tale endings. But what they all do is allow us a glimpse-however brief-into the wonderful world of souls who just happen to inhabit bodies different from ours (and maybe not so different at that). We CAN all learn to communicate with our domestic and wild animal companions. I believe Patty shows us the way. And the first step is opening the mind of the heart. The second is the humility to listen (really listen). The third is to express gratitude. Pakko (my cat companion) and Sunnie (my dog guardian angel) agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Images that flow straight into your heart, May 31, 2001
By 
"kcraft@iastate.edu" (Ames, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talking With the Animals (Paperback)
In my practice as an animal communicator, I often recommend books to clients seeking indepth information. Because it's a beautiful, gentle introduction to the concepts of animal communication, I suggest this title to more people than any other book. It's also my number one recommendation for people coping with animal companions with serious illnesses or those mourning the passage of their dearest animal friend. By sharing her heart with us, Patty Summers gives her readers hope, joy and a spiritual understanding of the bond between animals and their people.

5.0 out of 5 stars a touching, wonderful book, a must read for any & every one, June 17, 1999
This review is from: Talking With the Animals (Paperback)
Patty Summers' deep connection with animals not only is insightfull but also very moving. After reading this book, no one will feel the same about animals again. Their dignity and compassion is remarkable, as is their profound wisdom. This is a delightful easy read.
