If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

What Sort of Questions Do People Ask ?

Health

When confronted by their animal companion's serious illness or injury, some people have asked whether their animal friend wants to continue living. Others have checked in with animals recuperating from injuries to determine the progress of their recovery.

Behavior

Sometimes, an animal seems too shy or too aggressive. His person wants to understand why. Is it something that they can work on together to change? Is it a basic personality trait that will be key in determining what role this animal will play in breeding or training?

Well-Being

Virtually all the people who have asked me to communicate with their animal companions have asked "Is he/she happy?" Some have asked their animal companions whether she/he enjoyed the particular discipline they participated in, such as dressage or search and rescue work. Other people with young animals have asked what activities they might prefer to pursue with their human such as agility competitions, showing, or therapy work.

Relationships

Some people really want to understand the dynamics of their multi-animal household. Who likes whom - why do these two fight? Others find it especially helpful to ask their animals whether adding another animal to their family is an acceptable, and more importantly, a workable idea.

Changes

People going on a trip explain to their animals why they are leaving and how long they'd be gone. Some rescue organizations check in with potential adoptees to see how they felt about the people who wanted to adopt them. Other have discussed a working animal's impending career change to ease the transition.
