TWO WEEKS AGO, the #nomakeupselfie phenomenon swept the country.

It left many irritated people in its wake – but raised more than €1million for the Irish Cancer Society.

Dogs are now joining the fray. Pets around the country are taking #delfies – that’s dog selfies, obviously – to raise money for Irish Guide Dogs.

It all started last week with this shot

We couldn't find this Tweet

To donate €2.50 to Irish Guide Dogs, text WOOF to 57500.
