In Dog Days- A Year with Olive & Mabel, join Andrew Cotter as he takes you behind the scenes and into the pages of his diary to reveal just how extraordinary the year has been, and what really happened after his lockdown superstar Labradors chewed up the internet and found it was quite tasty. For Olive, Mabel and Andrew, the last year has been like no other. With normal work cancelled or scaled back for so long, it has been a time to take stock and share experiences - both the everyday and the decidedly odd. Here Andrew takes a sharply observed and often hilarious walk through the strangest of days for all of us, reflecting on how precious our time really is, especially the time we have with our dogs. Beautiful, comical, endlessly optimistic and eternally hungry Olive, Mabel (and Andrew) have padded around from the Cheltenham Literary Festival to 60 Minutes Australia, from their living room studio with ABC News Breakfast to an appearance on Good Morning America, and from obscurity to excited whispers of "Is that really Olive & Mabel?" wherever they go. Not to mention the lucrative merchandise and advertising deals that were turned down by the dozen, and the odd phone call from Hollywood. Through it all, Olive and Mabel have always done exactly what they do best, being themselves and being there for Andrew - and for all of us who have loved watching their brilliant videos and following their progress online. If you're a fan of Olive, Mabel and Andrew, this funny, touching and extraordinary account of a year like no other is an unmissable treat. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This one isn't radically different, except perhaps the profundity is dialed up a bit and the narrative (as it unfolds during the pandemic's easing) focuses more on the in-person reactions he gets when he's out and about with Olive & Mabel (fawning isn't too strong a word), and the pressure he sometimes felt to continually provide additional "content" (which he generally ignored unless a naturally good idea occurred to him).
Cotter comes across as a thoughtful, kind man who really is gaga about dogs in all the best ways, and I enjoyed hearing more about the bizarre situations he found himself in and his reluctant but touching reflections on the inevitable parting we must take from dogs who don't live nearly long enough for our needs. If you somehow missed the viral video sensation, you might enjoy the dog talk in one or both of the books, but probably needn't feel compelled to "collect the set." ( )
