Niall, seeing you at the school, I thought inexpensive booklets with dog stories/heroes stickers to pass out for educating the school children on how great dogs are. Friends, protectors, comedians, etc. I agree that it needs to start young to change perceptions and conditioning.
This is more than likely on your mind for future sales.....tee shirts and caps! A simple artists rendition of you wearing your cap, peddling away on your bike with pups in a nap sack (actually your hidden cap:) on your back. Although I'm sure it was challenging, I love that picture of you saving the puppies while riding down the mountain on your motorbike! With "Journey Home, Niall's Dog Rescue" or whatever your branding highly visible. It would ship easily and advertisement could be international.
Twitter posts are great! Thank you again for all you are doing for the Thailand dogs!
Good luck on your journey. I'm currently on Koh Chang, Thailand working with Happy Dogs Shelter and it's tough right now, donations are low. The dogs keep us going though, we have a ton of love for our furry friends ❤️🐕
Thank you, Niall. I am over here in Los Angeles praying for Arnie, you, all the dogs and helpers. I still believe Arnie can be found and healed. I am cheered to learn the updates of your plans, meanwhile you are constantly busy with emergencies. Thank God that you can and you do.
One of my favorite of your ideas is the book about the dogs. You could do the first volume. Maybe that could be ready for holiday season. Pretty ambitious yet possible. But there will have to be many volumes, I think. It's all interesting to those who care. The story is ongoing.
You have said you have a camera that is not of high standard, but I think it does a splendid job capturing the moments of history in the making. I hope that down the road, so to speak, you will make a documentary, just the basic way you do the capturing of the moment/posting each day. This is unadulterated, simple perfection. I live just blocks from East Hollywood. If I look north, I can see the big white HOLLYWOOD sign in the hills, just a few miles away. Your documentary film should win the Academy Award.
You were going to call your organization Nirvana. I told you I did not think it was the best idea. To me that denotes a type of complacency, like inertia. You are anything but. You are not a potential that has reached a final goal. You are poetry in motion. I hope you have peace at the end of each day, but at sunrise you are out again, helping the dogs in every way, educating children and people.
My Thai phone guy of many years said they are very strict in Thailand about helmet wearing, yet it appears you might not. I don't want to preach, but I would hope you would wear your helmet on the moped. And you drive in the rain! I used to ride my semi-electric bicycle eight miles up-hill to work and sometimes it would rain. Had a bad accident en route home once. Lived to tell about it. Always wore the helmet. Not very pretty.
What about a side car for moped? That would help with puppies, or others.
I have mentioned before, what about fundraiser for your birthday? You may not want to tell month and date but we already know you are 42 or 43. Or a fundraising drive for Summer Solstice or Christmas?
When I first saw you and your story when I was checking in on Andrew McGinley, around January?, I had to do a double take on your photo. I had a dear, close friend from Dublin, Joseph Hession, who died young. He was the youngest of 16 children and you could have been his younger brother. Still has a brother who lives on Holly Road in Donnycarney.
If you might receive mail, please provide address. I have Koh Samui, Marat and some other possibilities. I get that receiving mail could be a blessing or a burden.
Maybe you could give recipe for those fabulous dog cookies. Oatmeal base? We had a little party for Fiona the Border Collie this week. Special dinner first night. Next day, treats for cats and dogs. Tonight there was a blessing, and pink and blue cake, vanilla icing, blueberry ice cream, small amounts for everyone.
Must go walk with my dogs now, then maybe sleep. Still exhausted from last week, no sleep one night and little the night before, because had to get up in dark and drive my Border Collie to Vet to try to get a place in line. Space and hours limited due to Covid.

Niall, you look very happy! Lots of progress in a short time. Spreading the word of your devoted and kind work.
Well done Niall, keep up the good work
Great work! And you are looking very healthy too!
