EXCERPT:

     " . . . Many who attended the fair came with their pets, and not just to enjoy the nice weather. They were there to talk to Liz Severino, an "animal communicator" from Cherry Hill who says she feels the energy of pets and then tells the owners what the animals are feeling.
     "Severino often works with abused or abandoned dogs, but yesterday most of her 10- minute sessions were with others who simply wanted to know what their pets were thinking.
    "She appraised her subjects yesterday by touching them and looking at them. But she said she doesn't need to be with the animal to sense its aura. Severino said she can communicate over the phone with a pet through the owner if the owner is concentrating on the animal.
     "Most of Severino's customers walked away happy. Renee Pinardo said Severino's analysis of her dogs, Fred and Barney, was on the mark. Severino said Fred was vulnerable and Barney was an observer, which Pinardo said accurately depicts her dogs' demeanors."
