How does telepathic animal communication work?

It is based on the idea that humans and animals can exchange thoughts, emotions and images without spoken language. Animal communicators often describe three channels: pictures (mental images an animal projects), feelings (sensations and emotions, felt as if they were the communicator’s own) and words (words or intuitive impressions). It is not about reading minds in a human sense, but tuning in to the signals animals naturally send. The evidence is largely anecdotal, and many people say they have simply “just known” what their animal was feeling.
