Nollywood actress Ireti Doyle has spoken out about her fear of dogs.
Sharing photos of herself with her dogs, she revealed that growing up, she was scared of dogs – big or small, and would gladly take a long and convoluted path to avoid a dog.
She noted that it took ten years of begging and negotiations for her daughter to get a puppy, and within that year, she got another one.
Ireti said now she is a bona fide dog lover and owner, and is good friends with her Cane Corso and German Shepherd.
“Growing up I was scared witless of dogs. Big, small, it didn’t matter. I would gladly take a long & convoluted path just to avoid a dog.
It took ten years of begging and negotiations for my daughter to get a puppy… within the same year, we got another – at my instance.
Today, not only am I a bona fide dog lover/owner… I’m really good friends with a Cane Corso & a German Shepherd…
Who says change is impossible?
Happy New Year, happy new month and everything in between…
I hope 2026 is being kind to you and you’re being kind to others.
May we all continue to land.
Softly”.
At the start of the year, Ireti had lamented over the toxicity of social media, as she took a break from the internet. She stressed that the world in general is becoming too toxic for her quiet soul.
Sometimes back, Ireti had reflected on her journey into Nollywood, sharing a throwback photo of herself on a movie set. Ireti revealed that this was her first foray into Nollywood and described her journey into Nollywood as diverse and colourful.
Early last year, the veteran actress shared a harrowing experience on Instagram, where she spoke out about a near-death encounter with carbon monoxide poisoning. Ireti revealed how she was discovered unconscious in the car, foaming at the mouth with blood trickling down her nose.
