Sandra needed to show the terrier “who was boss,” after he

communicated that he was in a great deal of pain then, and
while he was in the show,” explains Ogden-Avrutik. “He also
sent me clarification that he was afraid that the judge was go-
ing to hurt him when she ran her hands over him. He snapped
at his guardian for the same reason. When I relayed the infor-
mation to Sandra, she shared that she had a long-term pain
exactly where Tut suffered his.”
A month later, Sandra called Ogden-Avrutik again,
about Tut and an upcoming show. “She didn’t want to force
him to participate if he didn’t feel well,” says Ogden-Avrutik.
“I conveyed to her Tut’s message of an uncomfortable sensa-
tion in his lower left jaw, as well as pain in the left side of his
middle back. Sandra responded that she had just had a root
canal done in the left lower side of her jaw and added that
her mid-back was hurting on the left side.”
In Ogden-Avrutik’s experience, animals can act like tiny
barometers, reflecting back to us what we are most often
feeling and thinking. While that insight may be comfort-
ing, it requires an awareness that transmitted emotions can
be negative, as well as positive. This is why Ogden-Avrutik
insists that it is important for animal guardians to be aware of
their thoughts and feelings. “Leftover stress and anger from
