It was Thursday July 2, 2009, and my dog had been missing for three days. Signs, flyers, visits up to
the pound, and still there was not a single phone call or sign of her. I had started giving up hope
when a good friend gave me Barbara's phone number. I was an admitted skeptic of animal
communicators, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I gave her a call and was absolutely shocked
when she was able to come up with such small details that even people that personally saw the
dog each day wouldn't know.
She mentioned her toenails which I had to embarrassingly admit I had painted hot pink. She knew where she slept in the house and what color her favorite chair is. She mentioned a name "Brian" that seemed to have no relevance to me at the time. She told me to wait until after July 4th, and then I would find her. Six days?! I would have to wait six days? No way I thought. So I kept looking and very unsuccessfully I might add.
Sure enough, six days go by and on July 5th I get a phone call from a man who has my dog. I thank
him profusely. I was so ecstatic I almost forgot to ask his name. As I was about to hang up the phone I asked and found out his name was "Brian".
It was a very happy ending and an excellent experience. My eyes have really been opened to animal communication and the gift that Barbara has. I am so thankful my friend convinced me to give
her a call. Jenny is back home where she belongs.

I have witnessed amazing outcomes after Barbara's consultations. When my daughter was preparing
to go away to college she had the wonderful opportunity of being able to take her horse, Joey, with
her to school. I asked Barbara to talk with Joey to see if he was willing to go with her. Prior to this he had been living with a number of other horses on a big farm in Virginia. I thought it would be a huge change for him. He would also have to travel in our two horse trailer for eight hours to Ohio. In addition to traveling to school in Ohio and back home to Virginia at the beginning and end of the school year, he would also have to be transported home at Christmas and then back to school in January each year. Traveling by himself was never something he was fond of.
When Barbara first tuned into Joey she said he felt sad and he felt like crying. I told her the situation
and that I wanted him to go to school with Meg. I wanted him to take care of Meg and let him know
that he would be in a stall much longer than he is now. I wanted Joey to know that he would have to travel by himself in a trailer for at least eight hours.
Barbara explained all of this to Joey as well as telling him what an important job this is and that only
he could do this for Meg. All I can say is that this was one of the most amazing experiences I have
ever had. Barbara said he understood and was now willing to go. He knew he could do this and
was now excited about going. Joey understood that he would be in a stall longer and that he would
have to travel alone in a trailer. He now wanted to do this with Meg and felt he had an important
job to do.
When it was time to leave for school Joey stepped right into the trailer, rode quietly all the way and adapted quickly to the school routine. The whole experience has been nothing short of amazing!
My daughter graduated from college in May 2009. Joey, Meg and I have made fourteen trips back
and forth to school over these four years. Joey has been wonderful and we attribute this whole
fabulous experience to Barbara Goodfriend. She loves the animals and her kindness and goodness shines through to them. I firmly believe the animals understand us if we take the time to explain a situation to them, but Barbara has a tender touch and a way of explaining to them that is beyond words.

Many times my clients have said to me, "I just wish I knew how my pet feels and what they are thinking". Animal communication is a credible way for us to understand what
is happening to our pets, and an opportunity to learn about their feelings and desires. Barbara has the unique gift of being able to connect with the animals and translate that information for their caregivers and medical team. My clients have been impressed and very grateful for the insight that Barbara has provided.

I had a very aggressive dog that not only would go after other dogs but people as well. Barbara and I are friends and I was very anxious about her bringing her dogs over because of my dog Diva. She told me to give Diva to her and that she would take all the dogs for a walk. I was horrified! She told me to stay behind because my nervousness was only making matters worse. I could not imagine how this could ever work out. Next thing I know she is back with all the dogs walking together and is able to let Diva off the leash with her dogs in the backyard. I thought it was nothing short of a miracle.
