Whisperers A Plenty

Darn if there's not another fellow trying to cash in on the whispering scene.

Back in '95, it was a catchy title for Nicholas Evan's novel: Horse Whisperer which was made into a movie in '98 and directed by Robert Redford who also played the major role of Tom Booker.

Both the book and the movie were based on the real macoy, a fellow by the name of Buck Brannaman who is a widely respected horse gentler.

Brannaman whose approach is to turn frightened horses into friends is based on trust and respect rather than dominance, mastery or manhandling. Brannaman's approach is a spiritual thing.

The newest whisperer, Cesar Millan, is a zeroxed copy without the spiritual credentials.

Not only is Mr. Millan trying to cash in on the name and reputation of someone else by using the title: Dog Whisperer, Millan who relies on dominance rather than respect, doesn 't have the skills of a true healer. Rather, he sees himself as leader of the pack.

But then from Millan's background what else could one expect?
