Pet Expert Offers Spiritual Solutions When a New Shelter Dog Isn?t the Perfect Gift
Minneapolis, Minnesota, February 4, 2013 ? On holidays, when a homeless dog unexpectedly becomes someone?s gift, the generous gesture doesn?t always turn out well. Best-selling author Allen Anderson found a year-old cocker spaniel named Leaf at an animal shelter. Even though he was a pet expert who had written over a dozen animal books, Anderson wasn?t prepared for the chaos this traumatized dog brought to his life. In his new memoir ?A Dog Named Leaf? (Lyons/Globe Pequot Press, November 2012) Anderson shares spiritual resources for helping a troubled ?gift? dog become a treasured family member. Adding the spiritual element resulted in his miraculous journey of rescuing a dog who in turn, rescued him. ?www.adognamedleaf.com
Anderson says, ?The first night, Leaf howled, went to the bathroom on our carpet and terrorized the cats. He was so scared and confused. It took creative solutions for him to become the happy and well-adjusted dog he is now.?
Most people take a distressed animal to a veterinarian, enroll in a dog-training class, or consult animal behaviorists. Anderson did all those things but decided he needed nontraditional resources for resolving Leaf?s emotional issues.
?I found reliable animal communicators,? Anderson says. ?During one telepathic communication Leaf bowed his head and confided: ?I got left.? Abandonment destroyed his trust. We needed to restore it.?
Anderson suggests that people spiritually comfort stressed-out rescued dogs. Every day, he?d sit in his recliner in silent prayer with Leaf on his lap, the dog?s head resting against his chest. As Leaf listened to Anderson?s heartbeat, love became the greatest cure of all.
