Julie Stephenson of Los Angeles, CA writes about her lost dog, Mr. Bean:

Dana,

I have to THANK YOU with my WHOLE ENTIRE HEART for helping to bring my lost boy home! I have no idea what I ever would have done if I hadn’t had you to lean on and support me in communicating with my doggy! You were the biggest inspiration and rock in my life the week Mr. Bean went missing. I thank God for you every single time I look at him. I hope others are as lucky to have such an amazing person in their lives as we did when we needed it!

Gratefully,

Julie (Mr. Bean’s mom) and Family

Greg Brandt of Valley Village, CA writes about his cat, Izzy:

I found Dana Miller when Izzy, our cat of 13 years, went missing. We had talked with other animal communicators and, though sometimes felt encouraged, ended up with the sense of being spun around and pushed into different directions in our search. We even decided to compliment the "intuitive" communicators with the "scientific" by hiring search dogs that are trained to find lost pets. From the beginning of our help from Dana, she made it clear that she couldn't guarantee anything (if our cat didn't want to be found or didn't want to communicate, there wasn't  much help to offer), but did say she would see this through and be with us for the long haul.

Dana was the one communicator that echoed what information the search dogs brought. She "stayed in touch" with our cat on a regular basis, which was a great relief to us. While Izzy has not returned home to us yet...there is still a bittersweet happy ending. Dana was able to assure us that Izzy is well, happy, and helping someone with a great need. It was almost as if he had been given a new assignment in life. She was able to communicate that  Izzy missed us and was lonely for his home, but that this journey was something that he had to go on...and she could assure us, that if circumstances permit, he will try to come home, as he knows our love for him is as deep as his is for us.

Dana has an amazing talent / gift and a deep compassion for animals as well as their people. She knows that our animals are more than "pets,"  but rather, parts of our families with paths of their own to act upon.

I hope I don't need Dana's help finding a lost pet again (!!), but am grateful beyond words to have found her friendship and concern...even as it pertains to our other cats at home with us. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Thank you, Dana!

Gina Hendrix of Burbank, CA writes about her lost cat:

Thank you SO MUCH!!!

Because of you, I got my sweet Lucy back. I am telling everyone that because you spoke to Lucy, you were able to guide me to look in every nook and cranny. By telling me that she was too scared to let her presence be known and that I needed to keep searching the same areas over again ...I found her. Exactly as you said, she was in a tiny space that I had walked past many times before, but when I took a slower pace, she came out …she’d been too scared to come out on her own!

Cheryl Johnson of Grass Valley, CA, writes this about her horse, Sonny:

When I first started training my horse, Sonny, he was six years old. He was overzealous, extremely sensitive, and all his reactions were very dramatic. I called Dana for some assistance with him for many reasons, but mostly because I was getting frustrated with his over-reactivity to just about everything. Dana connected well with him and obtained some very important information about him and his personality which helped me immensely.

She has continued to help me and Sonny many times, and he loves talking to her and has trust in her. He is a very complicated horse, and from time to time he will have issues crop up which I now feel confident that I will be able to get him past with Dana's assistance.

Dana is a very compassionate person. The animals pick up on it immediately and will confide in her. She has a true gift and it is awesome that she is available to all of us and our animals so that we may have a healthier and happier relationship with them.

Thank you Dana, from both of us, for all of your love and support.

Kimberley Coburn, VP sales, Petlane.com, writes this about her dog, Serena:

It is amazing to me how talking with you has impacted my relationship with Serena. She became a part of my life at a very difficult time for me, and my bond with her was based on my needs. I wasn't in a space to consider her needs--amazingly enough, she loved me anyway! Understanding more about her needs and how she views herself as an individual has made my love for and connection to her so much deeper. Both my husband and I feel we are speaking to someone who is much more present and comprehensive then we ever realized. I would strongly recommend your services to anyone seeking a deeper understanding and greater bond with a beloved companion animal.

What a gift you have given to us, and Serena!

Paula Montgomery of Tujunga, CA writes this about her recently departed feline friend, Chloe:

“The Voice of the voiceless” - that's what I call Dana.

She might argue that they have very clear voices, and that it's just a matter of learning to listen for them. What's impressive about Dana is her humility with regard to her considerable gifts. She says anyone can do this with practice - but until I have the time for that, I will completely place my trust in hearing my animals speak through her. I have learned so much from them - and could not have done so without Dana.

When my 15-year-old "elderly kitten" Chloe was diagnosed with lymphoma, I contacted Dana in the hopes that she could lead me as to how to proceed. I'd recently lost another of my felines and was afraid of what was to come. Ever honest, and after several attempts, Dana reported to me that the usually-chatty Chloe wasn’t talking. A week later, Dana told me that Chloe had finally decided to communicate - and that she had offered a startling revelation. The reason she hadn't wanted to speak to any of us, she said, was because "we already had her pegged as dead!" Because we had just been through our other cat’s passing, she was, of course, completely right! Furthermore, she indicated that she perceived herself as still very much alive and did not want us to give up on her. We immediately adjusted our preconceptions and attitudes about her condition and went on to experience the most extraordinary times with our girl that we had ever had. Though we lost her sometime later, the fact that we'd listened to what she wanted to tell us allowed us to experience her strength, her courage, her wisdom, and her nobility of spirit. We would have missed all of that without Dana.

And so we thank you, Dana - for being "the voice of the voiceless." Ethel thanks you, Chloe thanks you, and even Indiana, my resident curmudgeon, thanks you.
