Scots mum who worked with Gerard Butler trains pets to star in blockbuster movies
20.04.2022 - 13:03 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum who has worked with stars including Gerard Butler and Colin Firth in her role as an 'animal wrangler' has described how she trains her pets for blockbuster stardom - including a raven and a wolf-hybrid.
Mum-of-two Bozena Bienkowska, 56, has worked as an 'animal wrangler' for 20 years, after being approached by the BBC when she worked as an equine behaviourist.
She currently has 22 Andalusian horses, which are used in films due to their beauty and nature, and also breeds poodle-cross dogs which are used in film work.
Bozena, from Glasgow, has worked on everything from Irn Bru commercials to CBeebies, as well as films starring Colin Firth, who she said loves animals.
Her wolf-hybrid Kali, 12, appeared in Wuthering Heights, as a pet belonging to Heathcliffe's adoptive brother's son, as the director wanted a wolf for a pet.
Bozena said: "I've not yet come across an animal that I don't get on with.
"I don't rush up to dogs in the street and pet them, it's so disrespectful to the animal - I don't approach them until they approach me.
"My job is to be happy and relaxed - if you get nervous or anxious, everything goes tits up.
"I have to stay in a very calm place.
"I can jump through hoops but I can't change nature.
"Sometimes I have to say 'I know you want this but it can't happen'."
Among her eclectic collection of pets is a raven named Riot, aged 11 months, and poodle Zeus, aged 11 years old.
She keeps Maine coon cats, and was photographed with horse Premarosa, aged nine.
Bozena said goats are easiest to work with as they are motivated by food.
She added: "I breed the dogs I use on film sets.
"Poodles are very clever. I had a dog called Truffles who worked with Colin Firth.
"She was amazing - she loved being on set and on
