Veterinarian and Animal Communicator Dr. Barbara Shor

Many veterinary professionals feel they have at least a little Dr. Dolittle in them. You know, the ability to connect, communicate, even "talk to the animals."

This week we're joined by a veterinarian and animal communicator, Dr. Barbara Shor, to discuss what an animal communicator does, her journey to becoming an animal communicator, and the practical - and perhaps even clinical - applications of her work.

Along the way, Beckie shares her own personal experiences, Dr. Ward asks about the feelings and "communications' of farmed animals (you knew he'd go there), and Dr. Ward tries to relate to Dr. Shor by revealing some of deep meditation experiences (it involves how he believes he can feel his blood flow in vessels).

Viewfinders, this is a conversation that could ONLY happen on the Veterinary Viewfinder!
