I want to read the zookeeper version! Animals use scent to communicate, so they'd be attuned to that. They'd be nurturing, perhaps seeking to understand the ghost's needs and provide for them, which gives you the curiosity you need to get the story going. They'd also have experience of dealing with dangerous animals, of managing risks and staying calm, which they could draw on if the situation grew darker. Plenty to draw on there!
