What if the behavior we see on the surface isn't the real story?
A frightened little rescue dog who had learned to make himself almost invisible. A horse whose puzzling behavior seemed to make no sense—until its past revealed something unexpected.
In this fascinating conversation, Rev. Dr. Sheila Ryan shares remarkable stories from her work with humans, horses, and hounds, and what happens when we look beyond the obvious to discover what's really going on underneath.
Suzan Vaughn, The Animal Whisperer, talks with Dr. Ryan, author of Be Well and In Joy, a guide to healing the body, mind, and spirit.
Dr. Ryan has a unique way of looking at the connection between the body, emotions, behavior, and past experiences. Her stories remind us that sometimes the clues are right in front of us—but we have to know how to listen.
Because sometimes, the symptom isn't the story.
And sometimes, an animal has been trying to tell us the truth all along.

A Soft Spot for Rats
Two Rats, Two Very Different Souls | Animal Communication with Pillow & Benny
What happens when two rescued rats have completely different ideas about what makes a happy life?
In this heartwarming animal communication story, I meet Pillow and Benny—two rescued rats in the care of foster mom Jackie, who has dedicated years to giving rats a safe place to land.
🐀 Pillow is a true "rat's rat." He thrives in the company of other rats and feels most comfortable surrounded by his little community, or "mischief." But he's wary of humans and is learning what it means to trust, feel safe, and live in a domesticated environment.
🐀 Benny is a very different story. Although rats are known for being social animals, Benny has no desire to join another rat colony. His favorite companion is Jackie—and his favorite pastime is exploring every inch of his beloved human!
Through animal communication, Jackie discovers that these two little rats have very different needs, personalities, and paths. Their story is a beautiful reminder that animals, even within the same species, are individuals with their own preferences, relationships, and ways of experiencing the world.
I'm Suzan Vaughn, the Animal Whisperer. I tune in deeply to what animals are feeling, needing, and trying to communicate, helping uncover the mysteries behind confusing behaviors and creating deeper connections between animals and their humans.

Why So Many Injured Pigeons?
Have you ever noticed pigeons with missing toes or crippled feet? During my daily walks along the Pismo Beach Pier, I was struck by how many injured pigeons I kept seeing—and I wanted to find out why.
In this episode, we explore the heartbreaking condition known as **"string foot,"** a preventable injury caused by discarded fishing line, thread, human hair, and other string-like materials that become tightly wrapped around birds' feet. What seems like harmless litter can lead to lifelong pain, disability, and even death for these animals.
You'll learn:
• Why so many pigeons on the Pismo Beach Pier have injured feet
• What causes "string foot" and how it affects birds
• Why pigeons are especially vulnerable to entanglement
• Simple actions we can all take to help protect local wildlife
A cleaner pier means a safer home for the birds that share this beautiful coastline with us. Sometimes, the smallest acts of care can make the biggest difference.
