Meet the pet communicator who can "speak to dead animals" and made the talent her job after the furry friends "told" her to leave her corporate role.

Danielle Mackinnon, 51, always felt “connected” to her pets but says her family and friends "didn't believe" she could speak to animals in the afterlife.

It wasn’t until her dog at the time, Bella, a chocolate labrador, got sick and friends suggested she saw a pet psychic that Danielle realised her skills were "real".
