Do you believe demons can possess your pet?

(royaldogsgallery.com)Are you worried that a demon may have possessed your pet dog or cat's body, spreading disease and hardship to your friends and family? If so, then New York artist Olga Horvat has the solution for you.
    
After a tumultuous year of bad luck that she attributes to the demonic possession of her poodle Princess, Horvat is now selling "energy shield" pendants designed to protect pet owners and their pets from "harmful thoughts and emotions" and "malevolent spirits."

Each pendant sells for $197, or $189 for pet-sized versions.

Horvat told the Huffington Post that over the four months she owned Princess - between May and September 2006 - she and her family suffered a series of injuries and misfortunes.

Her afflictions included a bedbug infestation that cost over $7,000 in extermination fees to clean, her husband getting involved in a serious car accident and developing the rare disease Churg-Strauss Syndrome, and Princess's own broken leg that did not respond well to treatment.

Princess died in September 2006 when, the Huffington Post writes, "she mysteriously fell down some stairs while she was staying with someone else."

Horvat tells the story of her poodle's possession in her book Paranormal Pooch, described on its online store page as "an eye-opening story about one family's four-month sojourn into the dark and unknown side of the canine world."
