Jake, Non-Fire-Breathing She-Dragon

From David’s Website: Welcome to the wonderful and awe-inspiring world of animal communication. My work as an animal communication specialist is the most powerful, most enjoyable and deeply fulfilling work I have ever done. I am honored to get to know so many wonderful, unique beings of other species, and to learn how they think and feel, how they see themselves and their world. I view my work as sacred, honoring the deep connection of all life; a connection which human animals have, to our peril, largely forgotten.
