Can Pea Horsley really communicate telepathically with your pet - or is she just plain barking?

The 'animal whisperer' claims that she's been talking with animals since 2004 and since then has helped lots of creatures in distress.

"Everyone can communicate with animals. The only reason the entire human race isn't doing it is because we have been conditioned not to.

"As we grow up we are taught to ignore our intuition, but, by tuning back in to our senses, we can open the doorway to inter-species communication," she says.

And it's not just miserable moggies and depressed dogs she's been able to help. Pea describes how she has communicated with rabbits, gold fish and even tortoises in her book Heart To Heart, published by HarperCollins for £6.99.

She says she can communicate with an animal simply by looking at a photo or them, or by talking with their owner over the phone.

Pea tells how she saved Musgo the horse who was unable to recover from a past trauma, helped a client find her reincarnated puppy, and the wonderful story of Mono the dog and his owner, Mike.

Mono had saved Mike's life, so when the vet told Mike that Mono was so ill that there was no hope, Mike refused to give up on him. Pea came to the rescue to help Mono tell Mike what he needed to survive.
