a moving and sincere autobiography that left me feeling more at peace about life's difficulties and my ambitions to care for people and animals.
pros:
- I knew quite a bit already about the dogs and Niall's work from his Instagram, so the story of his life was the most interesting and also very heart wrenching. You can feel his past pain and struggling through the page, though he tells it quite factually.
- I was surprised by his employment and business past, mixing with the rich and being a chef and business owner, which showed how he's always been a massive go getter and extremely determined, even when dealing with his own demons. his self reflection and plainness in facing his dark side is humbling to read.
- his love of the dogs shines through and I liked reading about how he keeps his spirits up when things go wrong with the dogs. you really root for his success, as his real passion is evident.
cons:
- only slight con was a bit of repetitiveness I felt in how each section discussed the dogs, and the timeline was a little confusing at times. But otherwise, the story was clear and touching.
overall, enjoyed it and appreciated the message of hope and perseverance. definitely invested in Niall's work and appreciate him even more.
