Olive and Mabel: One man and his dogs | Times Reports

[@bridgetclooney3453]

I could weep with gratitude at this lovely man and beautiful dogs

[@hollycunningham6156]

Andrew, part of the joy is not only Olive and Mabel, but your own incredible commentary. Your own quick wit with their lovely personalities is what has brought so much joy to us all. Thank you.

[@margeryriviers3432]

Second!

[@Historian212]

Agree. Even in this one, that "I'm sorry you're bored" when Olive sits down, there at the end, inserted that wry humor.

[@plankface]

Third!

[@cincin4515]

Absolutely. The commentary is gold.

Dogs ease our troubles. Andrew, Olive, and Mabel shared their lives when we all needed some cheer. Thank you.

[@pambowers8890]

So True!!!

[@playme129]

So very true. I have to watch them multiple times. Virginia

[@jenniferredden8118]

I adore Andrew Cotter an his love for his dogs. He has such a great sense of humor.

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

Your dogs are so gorgeous, but your voice, personality and dry humour are a huge part of the success of ‘Olive and Mabel, the Saga’. You deserve all this success - so pleased you found a way to make a living while life has changed so drastically. Just please, for goodness sake do an audio version of your book!

[@patconnor]

I totally agree. I want an audible version of “Mabel, olive and me” (sorry if I got the title wrong).

[@Tally-vision]

An audible version voiced by the author would be great!

[@alison2536]

Love love love Olive and Mabel, their shenanigans and Dad's commentary during this horrid year has kept loads of people smiling 😃 thanks 👍😘🐶🐶

[@lulusaintly631]

Very pleased he's getting a gig or two out of this - I've really enjoyed the videos.

[@pambowers8890]

My thoughts...exactly!!!!

[@Mahalo_83]

He was already a world class sports commentator, he just been doing the autumn series rugby cup

I think he said he could really monetize the popularity but isn’t because the Joy is enough...love Andrew!!! ❤️

It's a beautiful relationship. Your labbies are ADOGABLE 🐾🐾

[@sueleroux525]

Andrew, Olive and Mabel have brought me so much laughter during these un-funny times. I just love Andrew's droll observations and the dogs' totally unassuming personalities. I think a lot of us look at our dogs a bit differently after enjoying these hilarious human commentaries. Glad to have met you all, and thanks so much for the joy.

[@shirleyn546]

One of the things that have kept us going during this awful time. I hope Andrew and the pups do well, they deserve it❤️

Absolute delight watching Olive & Mabel. Such gorgeous dogs. Thx Andrew for sharing during lockdown. Happy Xmas to you all.🎄🎅🤶

Congrats on the new gig we'll deserved after all the smiles you 3 have brought to us over the year 😊

Labradors are inherently loveable - and so are the people who love them.

I don't think anybody has ever summed it up more perfectly than this!

Yep, I'm on # 5, not a bad one in the bunch. I hope my GypsyLu outlives me because she brings me so much joy and asks for so little in return

[@maureengarcia3039]

Best thing to happen on Social Media!!! Thank you Mr. Cotter, Olive and Mabel. And LOVE your book!

[@susanwest2522]

Love to Andrew Cotter, Olive and Mabel from Los Angeles, CA. They have fans all around the world because Andrew has taken this opportunity to help us all smile a little during this difficult year. I've just subscribed to this channel, and EVEN though I live in USA I'm thinking of ordering the Times. Andrew's column would be the reason!

[@margeryriviers3432]

I also.

Love Olive and Mabel- and your fantastic sense of humor comes out in your clever commentary.... don’t stop! 💜

[@suecoates8313]

Lovely....just dogs and their human. Life can’t get much better! Thanks. You and the dogs are wonderfully simplistic!

[@marydonohoe8200]

I love to listen to this man. Growing up in the USA with two Scots, who have long since passed on to a well-deserved reward (no doubt!), he and his sweet girls take me back to a treasured childhood. Thanks, Andrew, Olive and Mabel!

[@debbiehocking8047]

Every time Mr. Cotter comes out with a new video it makes me happy; before I see it! Thank You Mr. Cotter, Mabel, and Olive! (Go Team Mabel!) (from New York State, U.S.)

[@flowerfairy1950]

I hope everyone who have acquired dogs this year remember they are for life and a lifetime commitment. So sad to see dogs locked up and confined in tiny spaces and worse abandoned.

[@caryulmer5578]

I was just thinking that myself. Wondering if they'll be less wanted when life goes back to normal.

[@annecaulder9495]

Indeed. Once we all return to life outside the home, our pups won’t understand. So I’m quitting my job to be home all the time with my five pack! 🐶❤️

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

well said. I fully agree!

[@kennymacm3031]

The price of pups went through the roof. Absolutely ridiculous. And already I'm seeing " sadly, due to work/family commitments" adverts being posted. Clowns

[@flowerfairy1950]

@@kennymacm3031 I just knew this would hapoen and why buy when there are so many in shelters seeking homes. Apparently there will now be more. 😭

[@LB-ty6ks]

I have watched so many of these wonderful videos that all I have to do is think Olive and Mabel and my spirits are lifted.

[@azmedic85338]

I would just like to say that, I subscribed because OF Mabel and Olive. Thank you Andrew, I look forward to your videos and now I will follow the weekly column. Congrats on the gig. Some times our dogs are more important to us than we realize. They deserve that belly rub.

[@margeryriviers3432]

This must've been a bit of work (?) but it turned out well, a pleasant watch capped with the exciting news of the monthly column in Sunday Times; that alone is almost enough to make me move to Britain. That Mabel has such the eager sparkle in her eye does she not. Olive the reigning champion, all the dignity of her place, how we love them both! They are so photogenic but then so is their delightful owner and sportsman and commentator extarordinaire Andrew Cotter. I have to watch this again because Andrew is always interesting and entertaining to hear, and unlike many of us he actually has something to say!! Thank you Sunday Times, dogs and Andrew Cotter :) God bless.

[@twiladawnmckay7300]

Two loves of my life that I may never have the opportunity to actually meet, but will love them anyways.

[@j9andphoenix]

When it is not the greatest day - I can always revisit and smile and laugh when I watch Olive and Mabel but also your fabulous wit. I think you would be a great Eurovision commentator! Post Terry Wogan I could not think of anyone else more fitting!

[@kazd3256]

Congratulations to Mr. Andrew Cotter - well-deserved new Times columnist! I hope he will still find time to give the world more Olive & Mabel video's, too! The worlds' tensions always need some doggo healing & who better than you 3? The entertaining antics of those quite "fetching" Olive & Mabel girls w/Mr. Andrew Cotter's ingenious, clever commentaries~ 🐾🐾 😄 💜

[@drewlantz4457]

I just love Olive and Mabel! And your commentary is funny and just the best. I'm a fan of all of you!

Brilliant! Congrats Andrew. Olive and Mabel are real beauties and you have such a special relationship with them. I laugh out loud every time!!

[@margaretcavin2231]

I LOVE Olive and Mabel! I have a black Labrador, Snickers and her son is a black Labrador and Golden Retriever mix. His name is Licorice. He is black like her but he is a goofy Golden Retriever on the inside. He is 5 years old and she is 6 1/2 years old. I get so much joy from them.

[@patriciagray2708]

Much Love to Mabel, Olive, & Andrew. Merry Christmas ♡♡♡

[@secretariatgirl4249]

As i was watching the video, I was wishing that you were on the BBC instead of some of the other sports reporters I see! And then at the end...the news that you've landed a gig at the Sunday Times!!!....I'm here in the US, so I'm not sure if it will be on the "free" site, but I am SO HAPPY that you now will be able to support Olive and Mabel in the style that they are accustomed to!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I lost my last dog on Dec. 23 three years ago, so watching O and M help fill the void now that all my 3 are gone....

[@Badgersj]

It's not a free site, but the Times/Sunday Times do run all sorts of 'free for a bit' promotions. I do actually recommend it, partly for the lively comments section under the stories which, due to the subscription model, are generally free of the Twitterbot type of response.

[@raeden4742]

[@SanderAnderon]

just by chance channel surfed by a recent rugby broadcast, heard Andrew's voice and ended up watching the whole match---a first for me--just to hear his reassuring commentary that got so many of us through pandemic days, imagining Olive and Mabel darting across the pitch.

[@secretariatgirl4249]

The "fetid pond" certainly is one of the best episodes ever!!!!!

[@zoehancock]

The fetid pond was the first I saw, and it was only hours after my black lab puppy went swimming for the first time, then shook all over me. Then went back in, and shook all over me.... Five times. It's still my favourite one.

[@mollywolly4201]

@@zoehancock Haha! I do so love the shaking, particularly when what they're shaking is especially fetid. Even better when they're shaking big gobs of mud that smell disturbingly like poo. And OMG the poorly squirrel...I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Andrew has GOT to be a Monty Python fan?
