He’s definitely a thinker and has been able to stay grounded during this rush of celebrity status since posting his early videos on YouTube. Above all, though, this is a book about the love we all have for our dogs, the companionship and pure joy we get from sharing our lives with them. Since then I have watched the videos whenever they are posted and was excited to hear there was to be a book. They just carry on being near-perfect – relentlessly optimistic and friendly, good tempered and handsome. We do get to learn all about how first Olive and then Mabel came into his life, but we also meet The Boss as a child and see how he came to have his strong connection with and understanding of dogs.In general, I tend to be pretty skeptical of book deals that emerge from blogs, so one that emerged from a series of viral videos should have sent me running. They've had people in stitches across the UK over the past few months with their hilarious viral videos. Olive and Mabel went viral on social media with their sporting contests during the COVID-19 lockdown, with Andrew Cotter’s unique commentary propelling the videos to over 40 million views. Scottish-born Cotter said the inspiration for the videos was taken from the 1990s sketch show Big Train in which renowned sports commentator Barry Davies earnestly described the World Stare-Out Championship.
