In the Moscow region lives a simple girl with a not quite simple talent - to speak with animals. 10-year-old Tanya Lugovaya, according to her mother, not only perfectly finds a common language with dogs and cats, but is also able to broadcast their thoughts, desires, needs.

"We didn't believe at first either"

Tanya is a modest girl and not very sociable, at least with people. He studies in a regular school near Moscow, is engaged in vocals, playing musical instruments and dancing. But, according to her mother, Tanya had a passion for animals from early childhood. "She is madly in love with them, and they love her," says the girl's mother, also Tatiana. Therefore, about 18 animals now live at the Lugovs' houses: 4 cats, 4 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 hedgehogs, a parrot, a raccoon, as well as fish and ducks.

“She always got along easily with animals,” added my mother. But the family never thought of this trait of the girl as a talent. There were always a lot of animals at home, and the "zoo", as the owner of the family jokingly calls it, is replenished all the time, most often in September - on Tanya's birthday. All animals always revolve around the girl. “She can just lie on the floor, and they all end up on her at once - I don’t know what she says to them there,” Tatiana shared her observation. “Although all the pets feed and take care of the animals.” Everything changed when the girl said: "I understand animals."

“At first we didn’t believe it either,” my mother admitted. Tatiana said that certain kinds of experiments were carried out at home to check whether the girl really understands animals or just makes assumptions.

We locked the animals in the room without her. And she was behind the door saying who was doing what, and the animals really did it at that moment. We could not believe our eyes, her friendship with them never seemed like something special.

Finally, the family of an unusual schoolgirl was convinced by a recent incident. "Tanya said that our dog is not feeling very well, - said the girl's mother. - She said that she felt bad, she was in pain, but the dog looked absolutely healthy." Mom told Tanya that she was probably just making up. However, the family still got worried and took the dog to the veterinary clinic. There it turned out that the animal really got sick - a tumor was found in the dog. At home, they decided: the life of a four-legged friend was saved by Tanya's talent.

And then the girl's parents seriously thought that their daughter had a certain gift, and not a simple insight.

The doctor does not consider this a special gift

Our meeting with Tanya and her mother took place on neutral territory - in an ordinary Moscow shelter for cats and dogs, to see if the girl could understand and get along with completely unfamiliar animals with the same ease. The guests did not come empty-handed - the Lugovye ones brought packages full of delicacies for the inhabitants of the shelter.

Mother and daughter were the first to visit cats that spend the winter in a shelter in specially designated insulated "apartments". Entering the room, Tanya immediately relaxed and became more talkative, and the 15 inhabitants of the room at first did not show any interest in the girl.

The schoolgirl went to get acquainted with the animals herself and along the way tried to tell everyone present what was on the mind of each tenant. There were few details: "The bagel wants to sleep, wants not to be touched," Tanya translated the thoughts of the black cat lying on the pillow. "This kitty wants to walk," the girl pointed to the animal at the door.

The schoolgirl's mother explained that animals do not have transcendental desires - this is what her daughter tells her all the time. According to the girl, the animals do not take offense, do not complain. Mostly their heads are filled with "want" thoughts.

When Tanya talks about them, she even uses different words. For example, phrases like “he wishes” slip through her, although when she conveys a conversation, for example, with a friend, she uses completely different words, ordinary ones.

Leaving the room with the cats, Tanya said that most of the animals here are happy and happy, with the exception of a few representatives, which the girl pointed to. It is difficult to argue with Tanya - from the outside it seems that this is how things are. But, unfortunately, the cats themselves cannot only confirm her words. So, we can assume that the girl simply has exceptional insight and flair.

Initially, Tanya's parents had the same assumption. “We even talked about this with a child psychologist,” said the girl’s mother. “The doctor does not consider this a special talent, and says that up to 7 years old all children are able to hear animals. Parents simply do not notice this ability.”

I didn't pay attention either. Well, a little kid says "she told me". How do you react to this? She can say the same about the toy. These are children.

However, completing the tour of the cat apartments, Tanya told about everything that she had heard from the tenants. Most of all, the caretaker was surprised by the girl's statement about the local favorite of the volunteers, Martin. "He feels himself to be the master here, the main one," Tanya said. The orphanage quickly confirmed the girl's words. Despite the fact that the cat behaved quite decently with the guests, usually the animal is quite arrogant and often shows master's habits.

I understand what they are thinking

After a small tour of the cat rooms, the shelter offered to take the dogs for a walk. The dogs Salmon and Batman joined the people in the park. Tanya, with pleasure and without fear, took the leash of an unfamiliar dog and went ahead alone.

"She is now absolutely happy, - said the girl's mother. - If you leave her here at the shelter, bring her more dogs, cats, and other animals - she will be quite happy with life."

During the walk, we tried to ask Tanya how she still manages to understand what the animals are saying. "We kind of understand each other's thoughts," the girl explained. "I understand what they think, and they - what I think. This is how we communicate."

As an example, we asked Tanya to tell us what Salmon, the dog that the girl was leading on a leash, was thinking about. According to the girl, in the thoughts of the animal there was only a walk. It was not difficult to believe the word, watching the dog wag its tail, running from tree to tree.

We entered from the other side and asked the girl to ask the dog for something. Tanya replied that she would not be able to force the dog to do something, and in general, at the moment she only wants to walk, and not follow human commands. "I'm not a trainer," Tanya explained.

A person is so arranged that, without a visual demonstration, he rarely believes in unusual things. Tanya's mother agreed, because she did not immediately recognize her daughter's talent. But at home, she said, there was enough evidence to call the girl's abilities a gift.

One day my daughter found out about the escape of our rabbit with the help of a dog. She was running with Millie's click in the yard, and she learned from him that the rabbit had run away. She went to check - the animal was not really there.

What strangers managed to see with their own eyes, the girl really got along even with unfamiliar animals from the shelter. The dogs obeyed her, one of them even followed simple commands. Cats, with rare exceptions, happily walked into their arms, someone purred, someone played. No one showed a negative reaction, although Tanya noticed that some animals are very unhappy with their neighbors, and someone still holds a grudge against people.

Finally, the girl told what differences she saw in the animals of the shelter in comparison with her pets. "Everyone here is very kind, almost everyone is glad that they are in such a place, and not on the street," Tanya said."Our animals are spoiled, one might say."

Domestic dogs and cats have seen little, and they are happy, of course, but they are more promiscuous. Those who live in the shelter or on the street have seen a lot of things that should not be seen, so they are more cheerful.

The girl's mother is sure that her daughter will somehow connect her life with animals. “I don’t know yet in what form,” she explained. “Will she work as a veterinarian, or will we have our own zoo at home.” Tanya herself confirmed: "I don't know who I want to be, but my work will definitely be connected with animals."

After meeting an unusual child, there is no doubt about her love for her four-legged friends, as well as the fact that most animals liked the child. Some experts are convinced that Tanya may well understand animals better than other people. "Only this is not a gift, but a natural ability," said psychologist Natalya Malysheva. "A girl may well communicate with them the way, for example, one-year-old children communicate: they cannot speak, but at the same time they perfectly understand each other." The specialist added that the behavior of animals is mainly determined by needs, which means that their thoughts are not so complex. "In addition, the girl is engaged in vocals, her voice is well developed - and this is already a different level of development," Malysheva summed up.

Zoopsychologist Yulia Malkova considers Tanya's talent to be exceptional childish insight. “You can hear and understand an animal,” the specialist explains, “the main thing is to take a closer look at them. If a person wants to, the cat will always say everything.” Malkova argues that behavioral signs, facial expressions, sounds can always give out the thoughts, desires and needs of the animal. The main thing is to decipher them correctly. “Moreover, the cat and the dog will always take you and show you what they want,” the specialist added.

It is also quite possible that Tanya is constantly developing her abilities, spending a lot of time with animals, watching them, communicating in her own way, which is celebrated by her pets. Such a great love for our smaller brothers is already a gift in itself.
