animal communicator
Tell us about your superpower.
People come to me for behavioral problems with their animals. I can feel their emotions and hear their words.
Let us guess: Vegetarian?
Yes!
But be honest: If there’s a mosquito on your arm, would you swat it?
No, I’d shoo it away. Or ask it to leave.
Are fish happy inside bowls?
I hate seeing caged animals—I never go to zoos, because it breaks my heart—but I’ve spoken to one family of fish and, surprisingly, they were happy. Of course, they lived in a tank larger than this bowl.
True or false: Dogs really are man’s best friend. Do they ever talk (deleted) about their owners?
[Laughs] They could be man’s best friend. The ones I’ve spoken to are very loyal and honest.
