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.

Мама, у меня будет маленький! О чем я не думала, заводя собаку | Episode 2
Однажды, в далеком 2019 году, мне в срочном порядке ударило в голову, что больше терпеть нет сил — и нужно сейчас же, без промедления, завести собаку…
Ваш покорный голос Пёскаста тогда была юна и взбалмошна, а еще мечтала о своей собаке все те годы, что покинула отчий дом. Ну и завела питомца почти сразу (как выехала с общежития и перевела дух на первой съемной квартире) — со всеми отягчающими обстоятельствами.
Много лет рефлексии и терапии с тех пор утекло, — без паники, я не разочаровалась в собаковладении, а просто сделала выводы! И в этом выпуске поделилась ими: в формате личных историй, вопросов к себе и подсказок на будущее, — к ним я теперь буду обращаться всякий раз, как буду заводить один хвост и четыре лапы. О чем стоит знать, какими вопросами задаться и как оценить свои финансовые, временные и морально-компенсаторные возможности — рассказываю свои представления о пёскасном внутри эпизода.
Многострадальный, кстати, выпуск, которого могло бы не случиться, если бы не поддержка психотерапии!
Здесь могла бы быть реклама сервиса по подбору психотерапевтов, но моего специалиста мне подобрал муж, и это не кликбейт и не латентный гиперконтроль, а смешная история, которую расскажу когда-нибудь в подкасте, но это потом, — а сегодня:
- Расшаркивающийся дисклеймер об исповеди приемной собачьей матери в грехах против собачечества;
- 5 стадий принятия ответственности в работе с кинологом;
- Как я внезапно обнаружила, что я не масик, а тюбик для своей собаки;
- “А потом он вырастет и убъет тебя”, или собачка как социальный клей (и иногда он ре-аль-но токсичный);
- Гулять по 3 часа в день, выходные на природе, вместе на все бранчи — и другие мифы бывшего будущего собачника;
- Сколько стоит содержать собаку-убийцу в финансовом и моральном смыслах;
- Как связаны рюкзак заядлого туриста и желтый вельветовый диван;
- Бинт, ко мне! Или как наложить собаку на душевные раны.
Ну и бесконечность многого другого, о чем я внезапно вспоминала и раскаивалась (попеременно с хихиканьем) в этом христианском выпуске.
Бонусом собрала 11 заповедей лайфстайла собаковладельца, которые я усвоила за время жизни в стае.
🩵🩶 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! 🩵🩶
