Animal Voices, Animal Guides is a wonderful resource

NICKI SCULLY, author of Power Animal Meditations, Journeys with your Spirit Allies and Alchemical Healing, A Guide to Spiritual, Physical, and Transformational Medicine

The author has beautifully and comprehensively presented a multidimensional overview of the burgeoning field of telepathic communication with animals.

Dawn answers major questions raised by the mind-stretching implications of animal intelligence and telepathic communion with all beings with both the heart of an excited student who has recovered a long lost dream and the mind of a detective tentatively and skeptically uncovering and dissecting a great mystery. This fascinating, expansive tome adds much to the enlightened understanding of an important phase of our evolution as spiritual and physical beings on Earth.

PENELOPE SMITH, Teacher, Animal Communicator;

Author of Animal Talk and When Animals Speak

If you have ever felt a spiritual connection with a dog, cat, or other animal companion, you may have also felt frustrated by the limits of your communication with them. From the first pages of this book, with the story of her dog Barney’s gentle passing, the author takes us into that place in human consciousness where we share a language with all beings. Shapeshifting with Our Animal Companions is a renewal of inter-species wisdom that indigenous peoples have known for tens of thousands of years. This is essential reading for anyone who recognizes the common spiritual bond of all beings on our planet.

Absolutely worth having on the shelf! Dawn's first book, Animal Voices, was an eye-opener for animal lovers. Dawn has once again written an excellent book,

She provides many exercises and thought provoking concepts throughout the book which leave the reader with no doubt that they too can telepathically communicate with animals. Of all the animal communication books out there, I believe this is the best one for awakening your inherent abilities to communicate, no matter your age. I highly, highly recommend this book.

Shapeshifting with Our Animal Companions will stretch your vision of what is possible and who you are. This book teaches in layers and begs to be read over

and over for a new and deeper understanding with each reading session. The animals teaching Dawn reach through the pages to teach us all, offering wisdom and guidance as they gently lead us through our fears and into a heightened awareness of who we really are and how we are all connected at the core of our beings. Brunke and her animal teachers invite us to step into the mystery and watch it unfold with awe and wonder as we realize all we have been searching for is right here, right now.
