Shira Plotzker did not set out to become a pet psychic. It just sort of happened. She was sitting at home in Nyack, New York, watching the animal communicator Sonya Fitzpatrick on TV.
Suddenly, the dog that was talking to Fitzpatrick started talking to her. He told me he thought it was a lot of fun to be on TV! And he was very proud of himself for doing so good.
Realizing she had abruptly developed the ability to communicate with animals, Plotzker expanded her existing psychic business to cater to pets.
Fifteen or so years later, business is booming, Plotzker tells me. Dogs and cats make up the bulk of her clientele, but shes spoken to snakes, horses, wolves and the elephants at Tampa zoo. She was also invited to speak to some police dogs, but, she says, the police arent allowed to endorse her.
She charges $100 for a half-hour session and has no shortage of customers. People seek her help to find lost animals, fix behavioural problems, diagnose illnesses, and communicate with pets who have passed away. (Yes, she also speaks to dead animals.)

I don’t need to spend a dime on a dog psychic . . . I always know what my dog is thinking . . . “I’m hungry.”

I usually know what our cat is thinking, but it has taken years. Usually it is something about what I can do for him at that particular moment, involving scratching, petting, food, or playing. Sometimes it is about picking him up or sitting so he can get on my lap.

clearly I would never raise a dog to have such gender-normative views.)
And the reporterette decides to race the "animal psychic" to Crazytown.

Yes, she also speaks to dead animals.
I speak to dead animals also, though it is typically in short phrases such as; 'tasty!' or 'that looks like a good medium rare.'
