Book Description
===================
The story of Olive and Mabel, Labrador retrievers who rose to internet
fame as the subjects of Andrew Cotter’s BBC sports parodies. When
sporting events were put on hold in March 2020, commentator Andrew
Cotter shifted to working from home. The one-on-one competitors? His
two Labrador retrievers, Olive and Mabel. In the hilarious videos that
ensued, the dogs engage in various contests, from bone-snatching and
breakfast-eating to crushing it on the dog walk, while Cotter narrates
to hilarious effect. The scene of Mabel, simply standing still in a
fetid pond was one of the most popular. Why? Because this is how dogs
live, and Cotter captured it with humor and joy. It’s why the series
has been viewed more than 50 million times, entertaining dog owners,
sports fans, and celebrities around the world. Olive and Mabel are
more than online celebrities, however, as revealed in this charming
narrative. Filled with stories about how Cotter fell in love with his
dogs, his passion for hiking with them through the glens and over the
peaks of his native Scotland, and the ongoing relationship between
Olive and Mabel (particularly the “competitive fire” lit during these
days of quarantine), the memoir is by turns side-splittingly funny and
thoughtfully tender. It’s sure to resonate with all dog lovers.
