Another weird one was when I was a kid one time I woke up and their was a huge alligator lizard probably at least 8-9 inches long, who had crawled through the hole in my screen window, sitting on my chest as I woke up in my bed in the morning staring me straight in the eyes and darting his long tongue out. We stared at each other for a while and I wasn't scared at all and I guess neither was this big lizard. I slowly crept out from under him and he gently slid down on to the bed. I went to get my mom or anyone else who was around to witness the lizard but when I came back a minute later the lizard was gone and must have finished his visit and crawled back out the way he came in.
It's seems to be a natural thing with me as I have never had any fear of any animals in my life. Really quite strange, unexplainable and true. So I totally believe this girl has a gift with dogs.
You have a gift, a natural trait we are all born with, but in your case refined and more fully developed. Sort of like Dousing, or the ability to find water underground.
St.Francis of Assisi was also said to have that ability, allowing him direct communication with animals.
Just as with Meghan, your gift tells the animals that they have nothing to fear and will feel better by getting close to you. Maybe it’s a skill that can be taught.
