The Human-Animal Connection 54 Cow Hug Therapy – with Ellie Laks – The Gentle Barn

Author: Pet Life Radio November 8, 2024 Duration: 32:48
If you’ve never been hugged by a cow, you haven’t been fully loved. Ellie Laks, the cofounder of The Gentle Barn rescues farm animals and cows and some of them become therapy cows. Cows are matriarchal, and their priority in life is their family. This might explain some of their compassionate, calm, empathetic, gentle nature. The cows at her barn love to love. And people are transformed by thousands of pounds of mutual tenderness. But Ellie does not just rescue cows.

She listens to them. As a natural animal communicator since childhood, Ellie has retained her natural ability to listen to animals, ask them questions, and communicate to them what they want to know. Her examples of conversations with cows will awaken your heart to why these animals have such a deep capacity for comforting others. The insights she has learned about “cow culture” and how they see humans will expand your perception of cows forever. Ellie is the author of Cow Hug Therapy.
