‘Come and dream with us of the world we both want to see, because dreams become reality.’
Author/animal channeler Sandra Mendelson is a Certified Polychromatic Light Therapist, Equine Photopuncture Therapist and Health Coach who has the ability to channel animal consciousness and shares messages from the animal kingdom for the benefit of humans. Her goal – to facilitate deeper understanding between humans and non-humans. An incident of awakening to animal consciousness lead her to solving problems for humans by communicating with their pets - and she now shares the secrets of their existence, along with guidance to help us survive and thrive as humans.
If ever there were a time when this book should be placed in our hands it is now. The problems of today’s world seem overwhelming but how many of us have learned to heed the actions and attentions AND THOUGHTS of animals to offer us a different path to take!
In this sensitive book Sandra teaches us and shares the channeling she has discovered and through a series of photographs of animals with an accompanying communication with each she gently brings us to a new level of communication and understanding.
For example, beneath the photo of ‘Honey Bee’ the horse is the statement “See everything as a group effort, because it is. The moon, the stars, angels, the universe – all are in alignment to create art, wisdom and things of beauty. It doesn’t matter who wields the pen or the paintbrush; only humans think it does.”
Sandra’s synopsis offers the nidus of the book – ‘We Walk Beside You opens the door to the breathtaking world of animal consciousness and what animals really understand about Life — and us.

We Walk Beside You: Animal Messages For An Awakening World by Sandra Mendelson
Bare with me as I start with a personal story. My friend of 30+ years is moving to Portugal. She has two elder cats and taking both of them with her was proving to be a challenge so she sought an animal communicator for advice. According to the animal communicator, one cat wanted to go and the other wanted to stay. Although I said nothing, I was furious that a so-called animal communicator was calling the shots for these marvelous cats (who I love) and separating them in their senior years. Also, my friend was going to get a kitten in Portugal, to keep the senior cat going with her, company. Frankly, I thought it to be a bunch of hooey!
The very next day, I received an invitation to read this book WE WALK BESIDE YOU! A coincidence? As I have believed for a while, coincidence is the Divine's way of remaining anonymous. So, I agreed to read and write a review.
The book is well worth the purchase for the pictures alone. The photography is engaging and absolutely brilliant! I began reading with the skepticism of the day before.
My first heart connection was with the gorgeous picture of a horse (Honey Bee) and I had a remembrance of touching a horse's nose which is softer than velvet...and the smell of a horse and a horse barn which is one of my favorite smells on the planet.
Looking at the picture of Cecil the Lion killed by an unconscious human, I started to weep...not trying to answer "why". The tears just flowed.
For many years, I have chosen to believe that each animal/bird/insect is sovereign and in its own way. chooses the timing and method of its death as do humans. I just allowed my feeling to rise though uncomfortable and unpleasant.
I took my time reading this book and looking at the pictures and just sitting in "stillness" allowing the information to penetrate my being. I wasn't as much interested in "thinking" as I was in "feeling" what the animals were sharing.
I was stunned and fascinated by each of the animals honest sharing, that, for me, originated from a higher consciousness or what I would call, soul.
Sighing was an automatic response frequently experienced as this book opened up a new doors for me on how I view the animals with whom I share my life.
Another personal story comes from a time when I was in my 20's (I am now 74) when I would visit a world renowned gorilla named Samson, at the Milwaukee Zoo. I would visit him at least once or twice a month. I would go in the morning so there would be few people around and we would share eye contact and what I believed was silent communication. I love him ordering the recently released book I REMEMBER SAMSON with marvelous pictures of him. A reproduction of him can be viewed at the museum in Milwaukee.
As aforementioned, this book awakened my vision from my soul to the soul of each animal. I now view animals, plants, insects, and all life on this planet differently as influenced by reading this book. I now only appreciate Sandra Mendelson's sharing this information in book and card form.
I am grateful beyond words.

We Walk Beside You by Sandra Mendelson. Illustrated by Farlish Mohamedl spoke to me in so many ways. It is a beautifully written book for all animal lovers. it is a wonderful read that speaks to us as animal lovers and helps us understand the animals we live with. . I was enthralled by the authors messages of compassion, love and honesty of our animal relationships.
We Walk Beside you is a must read. I cannot even articulate what this book means to me. Sandra has a gift of channeling our animal companions and she shares her many experiences here that brought me to tears. She is a amazing person. I am a strong believer as I had a cat located by a person that channeled animals before. No one believes in her gift more then I do as a life long animal lover I have had many experiences with animals that prove her gift is real and true. If your skeptical this book will change your skepticism.
So much of this book resonates with me. Its equally enlightening and encouraging. it will teach you to understand that your intuitive feelings are real with our animal companions. It will forever change your relationships with your animals. I highly recommend this book for anyone that has loved a animal. Thank you with gratitude for the ARC which does not influence my review.
I recommend buying a hard copy of this book as it is a book to refer to and highlight time and time again.
Well Done to the author. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book. I’ve never read one quite like this... channeling books yes but animals, no. I loved it! Suspend belief, it’s about the message, not the messengers. Even if you argue that this is all from the fertile imagination of the author I say, “Who cares?!” It rings of truth and innocence (animals) more than opinion (human). Embrace love, embrace nature, explore possibilities, take care of yourself first and above all, be present! Who could get offended by being told that?! Read this to escape to your happy place, deep inside your heart - you will feel like a kid again.

Truly inspiring!
I expected stories to provide evidence for animal’s souls and afterlife (which I got), but what I didn’t expect was the deep spiritual messages from the animals. Their lessons and advice would be transformative and inspiring regardless of the source! I found it touched me on a deeper level than many of the top human gurus’ books.

We Are One
It is a truth that we are one. I know animals always hear us. I know that no thought is truly private. This why every thought, word, and deed counts for us or against us. To make our stay on this earth in this life worth something to ourselves and others we must learn, learn, and learn, and love with all our being. That is part of how we give back.

This the 2nd channeled book I read of animals, the other is by Robert Shapiro. I enjoyed this one and felt the personalities of the animals really showed through. An enlightening read.

Wisdom and Support from our Animal Co-Species -
We Walk Beside You is an important book that humans - and animals - need right now. It is for animal lovers - - but it is also for those who know that we need to pay attention to what our co-species concerns are. Sandra Mendelson is a well-trained professional who works in the field of supporting animals who have medical challenges. Although she loved animals and trained to help them, she was unaware that some humans have "inner ears" that could open to hear animals and birds communicating and dialoguing with humans - - specifically with her. What an awakening when a horse spoke directly into her mind! And then, not being an easy pushover, Sandra went about validating her ability to communicate with a number of animals.
What a treasure of information Sandra now shares with us. She has gathered many conversations with a variety of domestic and wild animals and distilled the concerns that they shared for us about what we - individuals and humanity as a whole - need for bringing the mess we have created into a good world for all. A primary message is that we are not alone - they are here with us - more than just in body - -but in heart and spirit as well - and they care deeply for those that they are with, but also for humans collectively. In her excellent writing style Sandra shares their care, wisdom, support, and ideas for how we can best support ourselves, others and the planet.
The way that Sandra presents each animal - gives us - the readers - the sense that we know these animals, too. It is as if we are there, conversing with them - it is easy to read passages. and then find oneself thinking of one's own experiences with animals through the day.
My experience over the decades with many animals and birds, in rescue, in living with them, and in the last 20 plus years with the incredible rescues and members of the international race champions - The UN-Chained Gang of Eden ETHICAL Dog Sledding - is that our animals - wild and companion - are trying to communicate with those who can listen - Each of us have our own ways of perceiving this, our own abilty to sense what they are telling us - -and if we have not opened our gifts yet - Sandra's vivid presentations of her experiences help us to learn to open our own abilities. Sandra has a special gift of sharing!
As a Jungian psychotherapist for decades - Carl Jung's teachings presented in formal training at the Jung Institutes teach that when children and adults have challenges that nature - and animals -can rise to fill the void that human society is not giving to us at the moment. We are at a juncture in our path that humanity has been following - - by each of us opening to what animals are communicating - we can move through to a better world. Sandra gives many a voice for us to hear.
I highly recommend this book - -you will want to refer back to it repeatedly with the wisdom you will find in its pages!

I love the messages in We Walk Beside You. All the animals make sense. I feel I've gotten messages I really needed to hear and integrate into my life. I am very fortunate to have a special horse that I've learned from already - the importance of being in the present. There are so many other ways of thinking I can apply with her!
