I wouldn’t call you selfish Niall. More a man who has found a selfless way to live whilst understanding the absolute necessity to keep spiritually fit. The universe has put you in this spot to be in the trenches with the dogs, as it were. The right man/ woman will come when you least expect it, to do the other stuff you mentioned. Sounds like you are capable of doing the other job but you understand the absolute necessity of keeping spiritually well and helping those in need . Those dogs are lucky to have you. Thank you for all you do sir. My hat off to you 🙏🏼✨💝

I don’t think you should ever write or think that you are wasting your time doing what you do. You are actually doing what most of us think about but will never do. And the difference you are making to the lives of these dogs is beyond amazing. And on top of that, your actions bring joy to all of us who follow you. Thank you Niall. Thank you 💕

If that's selfish then be as selfish as you like. You and the dogs are healing each other and if it all started getting too "corporate" you might lose your way again.🙏

Also you are absolutely spot on with the "marketing" of the dogs and their plight. People buy into these beautiful animals,.their characters, their zany names. 🤣

Tina, Rodders, McMuffin, King Whacker are your PR and marketing team. 🥰

Love you all just as you are -selfish away Mr H. 🤩

Hey Niall, thank you so much for this well thought out piece. I used to wonder why you constantly post the before pics and videos of the dogs in your care instead of the happier ones and now I understand that it’s your attempt to raise awareness as much as possible especially for newcomers to your account. I can tell you it’s working because I’ve managed to get at least one or two friends to become regular donors. I try to spread the word by re-posting your posts. I don’t know how much it’s helping but I reckon it can’t hurt. And I totally understand why you love getting back the love you bestow on these dogs. Love is best when it’s a two way street - don’t ever feel guilty about that. Thank you again and again from the bottom of my heart. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my gosh you aren’t selfish - I look for your tweets before I get up in the morning, I often glance at my stirring dogs snuggled up next to me, Pat them on the head and tell them they have no idea how lucky they are 😂

Wouldn’t like be amazing if everyone in the world was like you ❤️ you’re inspirational and you’ve really made me think about my own future and what I want to do with it x

As humans we love to feel special/in being selfish as you say you continue to feed the mill which is our current world. You’re there at this time as it’s where you are and that’s just perfect- thank you for being you xx

You are truly an inspiration Niall...the dogs are so lucky to have come across you or vice versa.. keep doing what you are doing 😊 Its not at all selfish if it helps both you & the doggies. Have you ever tried yoga 🧘‍♂️? Its really good for anxiety/depression. Thanks for all your great work...you are fandabidozi ❤

Thank you for everything that you do🙏🏻. I often wonder why don't the local people help these helpless animals, dogs, cats, bears, elephants etc. but maybe it is so that their own situation isn't much better and they have zero energy, money or will to help these animals. So what you do is extremely important, to raise awerness and show them that every life is precious and worth saving.

There are so many animals in horrible conditions all over the world. After I started to follow you because of lil' Rodster ( he really touched my heart 🥰) my time lines in different social medias has been full of stories about animals in deseperate need of help. It feels very overwhelming because of course you wish to help them all but you have to start from somewhere and I have decided to support you and whenever I have some extra euros I support also the other magnificent people like you, Sybil, Samui Street dogs and others in other countries. Dog by dog, animal by animal there will be little less suffering.

So I think you are doing all the right things in right order 👍

You are not helping only dogs, you are helping also people. Your stories about street dogs, their ups and downs not only raise awerness but are also wonderful gifts to us, showing there is hope and joy in every day in every dog, every life matters 🥰 Never is my heart so light and happy than seeing Tina fetching tennis ball, or little Miss Sophia running on the beach with a wheel chair and big smile on her beautiful face 🥰. My own worries and sorrows are wiped away at least for a moment. Your stories and updates of these furry friends, which you make me feel like they are my family as well, are so important for me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❣️
