Andrew Cotter is a sports commentator from Scotland. He mainly works for the BBC and usually covers golf and rugby, but he also reports on tennis, athletics, and The Boat Race.
Andrew Cotter became unexpectedly famous online in 2020 thanks to a series of funny and heartwarming videos starring his two Labrador dogs, Olive and Mabel. The first video showed him doing a serious sports-style commentary while the dogs ate breakfast, as if it were a high-stakes competition. People loved it, and the video quickly went viral. He followed it up with more playful clips like the dogs jumping into a muddy pond during a walk, or taking part in a pretend Zoom meeting where they acted like co-workers.
These videos were not only clever and entertaining, but they also brought comfort and smiles during the difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic. People around the world connected with the humor and warmth they offered.
Inspired by the success of the videos, Cotter wrote a book titled
Olive, Mabel & Me: Life and Adventures with Two Very Good Dogs. In the book, he shares more about life with his dogs, including fun stories, personal moments, and big adventures, like a trip to climb Mount Fuji. He also talks about how suddenly becoming internet-famous affected him, and how the dogs helped him through the challenges of that strange time.
The book became popular soon after its release, especially when people were looking for a break from stressful news like the tense days following the U.S. presidential election. Cotter’s love for Olive and Mabel is evident through every page along with his deep connection to nature and the Scottish outdoors.
Whether you’ve seen the videos or just love dogs, this book is full of laughs and touching moments. It’s a sweet tribute to the joy dogs bring and a reminder of how something simple like watching two dogs be themselves can brighten the world.
