Dr. Kim recently had the privilege of being the animal communicator for a new ground-breaking book: JoJo: A Dog’s Tale.
Follow JoJo through his journey from hell into heaven as he chronicles his way from his own beginning
through the most treacherous of times and chaotic existence until he finally finds his "Forever Home" and the "Forever
Mom" he so longs for. You'll laugh out loud at some of his antics and you'll cry hard, salty tears when you experience first-hand
this tiny little dog's story as told directly from him to you through Sande Donahue, his “Forever Mom”.
Dr. Kim was the
featured animal communicator at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival's MySpace for Pets introduction.
In addition to her book, Ask the Animals, Dr. Kim has written articles for Animal Wellness Magazine, Chicagoland Tails, and On Course equestrian magazine.
Hear her CD Songs to Make Dogs Happy! The Songs to Make Dogs Happy interview
with Scott Simon quickly became one of NPR's most emailed - in programs. Dave Barry, nationally syndicated
columnist picked Dr. Kim's CD "Songs to Make Dogs Happy" for his Gift Guide!
Here's what PETA has to say about Dr. Kim and her CD - Songs to Make Dogs
Happy:
"According to Dr. Ogden's survey, dogs were in overwhelming agreement about song lyrics that make their
tails wag:
• 93% of dogs surveyed want to hear that their "human companion loves me"
•
93% want to hear a song about "having a dog bed"
• 92% want to "tell my human I love them"
• 87% want to hear a song about a toy
• 87% want to hear a song about eating food
• 75% want to
hear a song about playing outside
PETA informally tested the CD on dogs who accompany PETA staffers to work and
found that "Squeaky Deaky," a song about, you guessed it, squeaky toys, piqued dogs' interest while "You're
a Good Dog" caused them to relax and close their eyes. But they quickly became alert again when they heard the barking
dogs at the beginning of "Adventure Dog."
"'Songs to Make Dogs Happy' is the perfect gift
for 'stay-at-home' dogs or dogs who have separation anxiety or are fearful of thunderstorms," says PETA President
Ingrid E. Newkirk. "Dogs who are at home alone for long hours at a stretch could use a little something to liven their
day."
Share all 12 tracks with your pooch and you will be amazed at the response!" (PETA
Weekly E-News)
