Pet Psychic
A person who claims to read animals' minds opens a pet therapy practice. The pets' actual thoughts are nothing like what their owners expect.
Evelyn, claiming to be a pet psychic, opens her pet therapy practice. Her first client, Mrs. Higgins, brings her poodle, Fifi. Evelyn 'communicates' with Fifi, telling Mrs. Higgins that Fifi feels neglected and wants more gourmet treats. Fifi is actually thinking about chasing squirrels and burying bones.

Panel 4:Mrs. Higgins wrings her hands, looking worried.
