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”.
