Creature Preacher

Creature Preacher

We love our pets. We indulge our cats, pamper our dogs, and spend countless hours and dollars trying to connect with them. But what are they really thinking? Well, buckle up! Nancy Mello is an animal communicator. She helps people see into the hearts and minds of their animals – alive and departed. In this season, Nancy connects with pets of celebrities and everyday folks. She speaks directly to lost dogs, demanding rabbits, even the world’s oldest land animal – Jonathan the tortoise – to share what they really think of us. Learn why Boomer loves one of his dads but can’t stand the other, what Dave the dog thinks of being an emotional support pet for the whole family, and how Hvaldimir the spy whale can find his way home. There’s drama, jealousy, and juicy secrets…but definitely no BS. Creature Preacher: Messages directly from your beloved animal to you.
