Today’s topic is a heavy one. So heavy, in fact, that I’m not even attempting to come up with a mood-lightening joke to soften its grim arrival.
While preparing this episode, I went from wanting to howl (I held it in), to sob uncontrollably (I didn’t), to shoot dogfight organizers in the knees (none were conveniently at hand). So no cheerful descriptions this time.
But what I am full of is the strength to talk facts — no fluff (somewhere out there, a thesis just got defended with all the saved verbiage I left out).
As you’ve surely guessed by now: this episode is about dog fighting — how a utilitarian tool became a noble pastime, and later, a modern-day blood industry.
Yes, your ears aren’t deceiving you: dog fighting is illegal in most countries around the world (including, I’m 3000% sure, the one you currently live in).
And yet, this bloody business isn’t the least bit shy about its scale.
Why it’s bloody probably needs no explaining to you, my wise and noble listeners. But why I dare to call it a business — well, that’s what I unpack in this episode.
And if I may say so — with just the tiniest lack of modesty — this may be the most comprehensive audio deep dive on dog fighting you’ve ever heard. Including all this:
🥊 How rat-baiting mutated into a rotting “entertainment” industry;
💰 How much a “promising” puppy costs and how fight organizers make money;
🧬 What role banned substances play — and how dogs are “trained” for the ring;
👁 What legal loopholes let perpetrators walk free again and again;
🐾 What consequences fall not just on dogs and organizers — but on society at large. (Yes, even if you’ve never heard of a dog fight, it’s still hurting you.)
⚠️ How to spot a dog in danger and when help is needed;
🧡 And following that: how you can help — for the price of a coffee, a phone call, or even just a few free words.
⏰ As promised in the episode, the segment about identifying and helping dogs in danger begins at 33:16.
🩵🩶 Listen. Be horrified. Share it. And please — don’t look away.

Как я встретил вашу псину: очерки из первых дней жизни с собакой | Episode 5
А помните тот день, когда у вас появилась псинка?
Вопрос риторический: если у вас когда-то была собака, то, конечно, помните. В этом случае к прослушиванию выпуска строго рекомендуется запастись платочками и обеспечить комфортный подоконник для какао, меланхолии и слез ностальгии.
Если собаки (ещё) не было — подготовьте тетрадки, маркеры-выделители и карандаши (точно будет что на них взять).
Выпуск получился весьма биографическим. Не в духе Шило и доктора Фельмана, — а нежный, припадочно-ироничный и оболакивающий беспечной дымкой трепетных переживаний, — подслушано у “Вы, конечно, шутите, мистер Фейнман!”.
Вспоминала разные истории, хаотичные и не обремененные непоправимой пользой, про первые дни жизни с разными собаками. Конечно же, про первые дни жизни с Риддиком; про времена, похожие на жизнь с собакой из шелтера; про притирку махровой домашней собачки и безнадежного романтика + закоренелого кошатника (в лице моего мужа Серёжи); и бонусом — эксклюзивная история про репутационные издержки моей семьи и бродячих собак.
Для убедительности прилагаю выжимки из либретто:
📺 Шоу внутри шоу, новостное агентство DogxNews и расследование тайны пёсьих идиом;
🐣 Разведенка с прицепом, ублюдский бабушкин тюль и вельветовый диван в цвете страусиного желтка;
🤓 Лингва латина и непоправимая трагедия детства;
🥷 Побег из филиала Шоушенка, что на Ждановской набережной Петроградской стороны;
📉 Теория вероятности, неумолимо сводящая шансы избежать панической атаки к нулю;
🔫 Выгул пеленок, пёс-бурбон и чеховское ружьё-рулетка;
💅 Звенящие пошлости, пикантные подробности, чванство и разврат, — и прочие истории для тренировки антиханжеских мышц!
🐺 Одинокий кавказец против макабрических детей;
☎️ Легенда о появлении игры в сломанный телефон, или затравка для выпуска о кличках собак;
🍒 И вишенка на торте, искра послевкусия, финальный аккорд в какофонии мемуаров — блиц-опрос про бытие собачником, в котором я феерически перевоплощаюсь и показываю склонности к раздвоению личности!
Легкий, светлый, хихикабельный получился выпуск, — будто к любимой бабуле на чай с сушками заглянул. А бабуля чай всё молодость вспоминает…
🩵🩶 Слушайте, хихикайте, наслаждайтесь или кринжулькайте с моих историй — а еще обязательно приходите в телеграм-канал подкаста t.me/pyoscast. Там уже даже не перекати-поле, но будет еще полезнее и забавнее, я вам обещаю! 🩵🩶
