Samantha Khury has made a profession of being an animal therapist. She may not be a Freudian, but she does seem to have established communication with a variety of species, including race horses, goats, dogs and cats. Their owners call on her to discover what is troubling their animals.

You may be skeptical that Samantha is really getting information directly from the animals. How else did Samantha discover that one mournful cat missed greeting customers at its owner's store, or that a dog was bereft at the loss of its stuffed toy. Even professional horse trainers listen to Samantha when their animals seem down in the mouth. We watch Samantha talk to a race horse who wasn't eating. She discovered that he craved more time off from his rigorous training. His appetite came back to normal after his schedule was adjusted.

Samantha has a loyal following among pet owners and those who depend on animals for their livelihood. Even if you're not convinced of Samantha's gifts, you'll enjoy this foray into the mysteries of the animal psyche.
