Are you sitting nicely? Good. Let's discover exactly what happened after two superstar Labradors chewed up the lockdown internet and found it really quite tasty.


He's not kept a diary for decades but here, in DOG DAYS, Andrew Cotter draws inspiration from the great Samuel Pepys; like him, he bears witness to the extraordinary everyday as the world tilts on its axis in our own unsettling era.


And so, with Olive and Mabel at his side - actually, dawdling in the long grass or sleeping upside down - Andrew takes a clear-eyed, often hilarious walk through a year that encompasses all of life from the crushingly mundane to the decidedly odd.


Followed by whispers of 'Is that really Olive and Mabel?' - not to mention the occasional Hollywood approach - the three of them pad around literary festivals, breakfast TV, live radio and even an appearance on Good Morning America. Slightly bemused by their fame, Andrew not only pitches up in the iconic Mastermind chair, but makes a return to sports broadcasting to find that it has become rather strange as well.


But, always, his pair of utterly endearing, endlessly optimistic and eternally hungry canine companions show just how precious our time is. Especially our time spent in the devoted company of dogs. For fans new and old, this witty, insightful account of a year like no other is an unmissable treat. Dogs Pets & Animal Care Funny Witty

Dog days had me smiling all throughout, if not laughing. Andrew cotter bounces easily between lighthearted comedy and meaningful life reflections. Performance was, of course, exceptional. Caveat: if you’re not a dog lover or owner, both the funny and the deep stuff will be largely lost on you.

Meaningful comedy

As a fellow Scot and dog lover I really appreciate Andrew Cotter’s wry sense of humour. This book is a fabulous follow up to Olive, Mabel and Me and gives more insight into the author and their sudden fame experience. Beautifully written and read it was both touching and in places laugh out loud funny. I really hope he continues to write.
