About John Allen Boone

J. Allen Boone (17 February 1882 - 17 June 1965) was an American author of several books about non-verbal communication with animals in the 1940s and 1950s. He wrote much on his friendship with Strongheart, a film star-German shepherd, who he credits with teaching him how to achieve deeper bonds through extrasensory perception, a “silent language” that can be learned. Boone was an early film producer and correspondent for the Washington Post. His friendships in Hollywood led to his care-taking of Strongheart.
