They're all wearing her a bow.
The Long Island woman dedicated her retirement to alleviating hundreds of uneasy animals with the ancient Japanese calming techniques she first mastered people.
“I believe in everything for humans, so why doesn't it work for animals?” Susan Dennis, 70, of Sag Harbor, told the Post.
Dennis, a former ICU nurse and later a health teacher at Pearson High School in Sag Harbor, manages Jin Singh Jutsu's gentle and inspiring art to four, sometimes two pairs of friends. It is a series of stress-reducing hand arrangements that began in the 19th century to apply less pressure than massage.
“Energy passes through our bodies, and sometimes it can become trapped. With various holds or touches, it opens up energy and allows it to flow freely when stressed,” she says. spoke about this method.
“I've worked on all sorts of things for this: goats, chickens, horses, turkeys, pigs, sheep, cows, cats, dogs. They all respond in the same way, and like people. ”
Dennis was certified as Jin Singh Ju-Tu in 1998 to practice humanity, and in 2022 he was qualified to tackle all living creatures. Proven results occasionally accused animal healers, including one moment at the Tamer Lane Sanctuary in New Jersey.
“I was working on this goat, and all of a sudden I looked up and saw some of them. Choose me!” Dennis recalled. “The animals are much closer than we think.”

Last year, after hearing about a particularly heartfelt incident, Dennis began volunteering twice a week at the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation to manage her uneasy rescue.
“We came from this dog, this candy, this one from Ukraine and the candy was very closed,” said Dr. Terri Meakins, medical director of the shelter.
“Susan came in and started working with her. We could see the change on the same day,” Meekins added the puppy who found an eternal home.
On Friday, Dennis interacted with a towering five-year-old pit bull called “Big Betty.” This is a kind giant who has been suffering from incredible anxiety since being brought to the facility last August.
“It really calms their nerves in a shelter environment,” Dennis said as he relaxed the sudden, quiet dog, which was rough a few minutes ago.
“When Betty hands out the gas he's doing now, you can say he's working on both the dog and the horse,” he added a volunteer retiree at the worst seat in the house.
However, success doesn't just go through the movement. Meditation experts say that to make a difference with animals, you must first take advantage of the quiet effect of Jin Singh Justu on yourself.
“The important thing is to calm yourself down before you work with them because animals are so intuitive,” she said. “They can pick up how we feel. It's a really great experience.”
In total, Dennis did Jin Singh Jutsu with almost 150 animals at the shelter.
“I can say that almost all of them have been adopted,” said Dennis, who praised the shelter staff. “That's the ultimate goal for this, after all.”
