EPISODE 76 OF THE SMECKA PODCAST: Osmany Laffita and the animals that taught him humility, patience and love

In this personal episode of the Smečka podcast, we visit the home of fashion designer Osmany Laffita and his husband. You'll find an open, funny, and touching conversation about the animals that are an integral part of their lives - dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even their unexpected experience raising a tiger.

Osmany tells why animals are full-fledged family members for him, how they taught him patience, humility and the ability to love unconditionally and why he believes that those who don't like animals can hardly love people. You will learn why he fell in love with French bulldogs, what their daily life is like and why dogs are literally "his children" for him.

The conversation also touches on unusual topics - what it's like to live with a tiger, how a beast learns the rules of the household and why training works not only with dogs, but also with exotic animals. You will hear stories about the coexistence of different species of animals in one pack, about setting boundaries, rules in the household and why, according to Osmany, it is important to have a clear order in relations with animals.

Osmany's husband also gets a chance to explain how their animal household works in practice, why rules are the key to peaceful coexistence, and how to raise a dog in a way that both the dog and its owner are happy. You will learn how they take care of horses, chickens, and other animals, and how they deal with the coexistence of predators and prey in one family.

This episode is full of humor, life observations, and strong thoughts about the relationship between humans and animals. Listen to an interview that will entertain, move, and remind you that animals are not just pets, but teachers who can teach us more than we often realize.
