Some Dogs Talk is more than a story about animals - it's a story about learning to believe in yourself when the world doesn't quite understand you yet.
In this heartwarming and humorous third edition of Some Dogs Talk, Constance Messmer brings readers into the imaginative and emotional world of a young boy learning to trust his intuition.
Tony doesn't hear every dog. Just some of them.
And only when he focuses.
When a friendly dog at the baseball field tells Tony his name - before anyone reads the tag - Tony knows something real is happening. But when he grows dizzy, overwhelmed, and unsure of himself, doubt creeps in. What if it's just his imagination?
With the help of his curious journalist sister, his baseball-loving big brother, and parents who are trying their best to understand, Tony sets out to gather "concrete evidence" that he's not crazy.
What unfolds is a funny, tender, and deeply relatable story about:
- Trusting your intuition
- The line between imagination and inner knowing
- Growing up in a family that learns together
- Finding proof when doubt feels loud
- And discovering that different doesn't mean broken
Perfect for:
✔ Readers ages 8-12
✔ Parents and grandparents who love meaningful stories
✔ Families who enjoy read-aloud books with heart
✔ Fans of Doctor Dolittle and gentle magical realism
✔ Readers interested in intuition and awareness in an age-appropriate way
Because sometimes the greatest courage is trusting what you know deep inside.

Review :
"Some dogs do talk and this book actually includes a "Talking Guide" with basic steps for animal communication. It is written through the eyes of the young with a humor that captivates all ages. I loved the way the book made me feel like I knew these young characters and what they were going through. It was fun to relive parts of my childhood in their many adventures. The story made me realize that I talk to every animal I meet but I don't always wait for their answers. Now it is fun to practice what these children taught me and I find myself wishing I could learn more from them." - Amazon Review April 2013
Absolutely love this book! The story is captivating, and I especially loved the spiritual insights woven throughout. It's a wonderful read for both adults and kids alike. I can already see this becoming a favorite gift for friends and family - I'll definitely be buying more! - Amazon Review February 2026
"This book is amazing! It is a well told story which really is a thoughtfully planned step by step guide to help people connect on a psychic level with animals of all kinds, humans included. People of all ages will enjoy. Especially helpful for young people (and parents of young people) who have the psychic ability and aren't sure of how or what to do with it and it's complications. Touché to the author." - Sharon Duncan
