About this title

From School Library Journal

YA-- Telepathy, precognition, and reports of ghostly apparitions fill this book about animals that will appeal to readers hungry for more books on the paranormal. The rapport that exists between animals and humans in the form of myth, friendship, and religion is explored through the centuries from Aristotle to Brazilian fishermen in 1985. The volume is chock-full of fascinating accounts of how other species have rescued or helped humans in distress. Instances of intelligence and altruism as well as foreknowledge by animals of impending doom are interspersed with imagination-stretching tales such as the one of a horse who could speak short but intelligible sentences. While many experiments are alluded to, and an extensive bibliography is provided, the book lacks strong connections between the anecdote and the source from which it originated. Stories related from past centuries, news articles from the 1920s, or tales from the Middle Ages can leave readers grasping for sources. However, casual readers will be fascinated by the abundant claims and tales of animal intelligence, psyche, and ESP.

From Library Journal

Stories abound of animals, particularly pets, saving lives or warning of natural calamities. Bardens has collected a multitude of these vignettes from ancient times to the present, all intended as a demonstration that animals possess ESP (as he defines it). Dogs and cats dominate the first half of the book; later chapters cover other animals. Despite the subtitle, readers will find minimal analysis of these creatures' ESP. Easy reading, but not a necessary purchase. Michael D. Cramer, Virginia Polytechnic Inst. & State Univ. Lib., Blacksburg
