Book REVIEW: Olive, Mabel & Me by Andrew Cotter - ★★★★★

OLIVE & MABEL: two of the internet's favourite dogs!

ANDREW COTTER: one of our best-loved commentators.

In a year like no other, the antics of two beautiful Labradors, Olive and Mabel - along with hilarious commentaries by Andrew Cotter - lightened the darkest days of lockdown. With nearly 90 million views on social media, Olive and Mabel’s videos have resonated with dog lovers around the world.

Now, OLIVE, MABEL & ME tells the heart-warming story of Andrew's two famous Labradors. Olive - sensible, measured but always keen to roll in something she shouldn't. Mabel - endearing, slightly scatty but game for any adventure. Their star quality has taken the internet by storm and continues to give us all a much-needed treat in tough times.

Beautifully written, touching and laugh-out-loud funny, this is not only the story of Olive and Mabel but also the story of the love we have for our dogs and the boundless joy they bring us each and every day.

'A fantastic book for any dog lovers in particular. A very funny, observant and uplifting book about a man's love for his dogs, the bizarre lockdown that changed all our lives and the two dogs who became internet sensations. Cotter's tale (should that be tail) is more of a biography of his two loveable labradors than it is of his own life, he's fully aware that Olive & Mabel are the stars but there's no denying the quality of his writing. I couldn't put the book down. Buy it now. For anyone and everyone - it's the most heartwarming, uplifting book you'll read this year!'
