Reporter Renee Kohn of CNN's San Diego affiliate KSWB unleashes the details.</s>RENEE KOHN, KSWB CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Marty Larkin loves playing with her dog Coco (ph).</s>MARTY LARKIN, HEALING TOUCH PRACTITIONER: She's just full of life. She is always a happy go lucky dog.</s>KOHN: But three years ago, Coco nearly died after a car hit her.</s>LARKIN: She came in to be euthanized.</s>KOHN: Doctors called Marty first to see if her healing touch techniques could help.</s>LARKIN: I assumed that whatever I was doing on a human would work on an animal and I didn't know. I just did it and it worked.</s>KOHN (on camera): Using touch therapy helped Coco so much, Marty decided to teach other pet owners about it to help their animals.</s>LARKIN: So I've got my hands out in front of the head and I'm just going to brush the dog's body, come off and shake my hands.</s>KOHN (voice-over): Here she teaches the magnetic unruffle. It gets rid of all the dog's negative energy.</s>LARKIN: And I'm just going to imagine I have a beam of light coming through my three fingers.</s>KOHN: This laser technique targets specific areas. Freya (ph) had surgery on both her knees.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The very next morning they seemed like they had dried up a lot more, were significantly more healed.</s>KOHN: Pendulums come into play to align the dog and owner's energy fields.</s>LARKIN: Because it helps owners and animals to bond. Good girl.</s>KOHN: Just like Coco and Marty did, due to a very special touch. Renee Kohn, San Diego's WB-News.
