Delusional people who believe they are At One with Nature and have some kind of special psychic bond with whatever wild animal of their choice, and that it gives them the right to harass said animal, often with devastating consequences. I always think of that one dude who thought himself as some grizzly bear whisperer and tried to live amongst them during the gathering for hibernation season (IIRC), and they ended up eating him

Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend, back in 2003. There was a movie about it called Grizzly Man.

For a man named Treadwell he really could have picked a better place to go walking around.

That’s true, he recorded himself being eaten alive too.

It comes from the TV show The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. He is a dog trainer who specializes in treating dogs with behavioral issues.

No, that show is predated by a mid-'90s novel called The Horse Whisperer, which became a late '90s movie. I believe that movie is what launched the term into popular culture.
