Another star with an affinity for animals is daytime diva Victoria Wyndham (Rachel, on Another World). Ms. Wyndham recently had the honor of being the only soap opera star to have her show devote an entire hour of retrospective clips of her career—but the charismatic actress is more impressed with the spirituality of animals, which she has experienced firsthand! "I had two wonderful Malamutes, Bear and Xanadu, who always seemed to communicate between themselves and with me telepathically! One day, I was in the house listening to music, Xany was locked in her pen with her newborn pups, and Bear accompanied my kids to the pond for ice-skating. The kids left the pond after skating, but Bear remained behind to play. When the kids returned home, Xany was barking furiously in her pen—I couldn't hear her—but the kids just felt she was jealous of not going to the pond with Bear. But as the day passed, I began receiving distinct psychic messages from Xany that Bear was in trouble! And Xany, of course, was in her pen and couldn't reach him. My sense of doom grew, so I rushed outside, let Xany loose, and together we ran to the pond. There, we discovered a nearly drowned Bear, submerged in the icy waters, barely clinging to the edge of a dam. He had ripped his claws out in an effort to save himself, and only his incredible spirit, and his psychic communication with Xany and me, saved him!"
