Once or twice a year, Terri O\u2019Hara visits a ranch in Littleton, Colo., to talk with the animals.<\/p>\n
Ms. O\u2019Hara strolls through the barn, mingles with the herd and sits down with the poultry. She says she drinks in telepathic images that reveal animals\u2019 inner thoughts, be they profound or mundane.<\/p>\n
On a typical visit, Ms. O\u2019Hara will report that a gelding is concerned that human staff members get dangerously underfoot around the feeding stations. The miniature steer is miffed that the male pig has a female companion and he doesn\u2019t. The alpacas divulge that cliques are forming among the volunteer ranch hands. The hens complain that the rooster is abusive.<\/p>\n
Ranch owner Bernadette Spillane takes these reports into account when managing the 53-acre property. The ranch is a sanctuary for rescued horses, and Ms. Spillane says they line up to unburden themselves on Ms. O\u2019Hara\u2019s visits. \u201cThere were horses we didn\u2019t realize were having an issue,\u201d says Ms. Spillane, 65 years old. \u201cOr they knew other horses were having an issue, and they wanted to talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In humans\u2019 long quest to communicate with their beloved pets, some are casting doubts aside and turning to animal communicators\u2014sometimes called pet psychics\u2014to try to learn what\u2019s on Fido\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because I don\u2019t understand it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not real,\u201d says former Manhattan restaurateur Alex von Bidder, whose daughter brought an animal communicator to her horse farm in Aiken, S.C.<\/p>\n
