Background of Sonya Fitzpatrick
[edit]As a young girl in England, Sonya learned early of her alleged unusual ability to feel the emotions and physical aches and pains of her terrier dog. One year her family raised three geese on their farm. Sonya became very attached to the fowls and believed she could feel their thoughts and emotions. When her father killed the geese for the family Christmas meal, she realized that no one else in her family had the same attachments to the animals. She then decided to make every effort to ignore her alleged unique abilities.[1]
Around 1994, Sonya reconnected with her alleged psychic abilities and used her alleged telepathic skills to serve as a conduit for all types of animals. She attempts to use her alleged talent to explain pets’ behavioral problems and ailments.
