Scots commentator's tweet goes viral as dog 'releases' Prince Harry-style autobiography

Prince Harry faces competition in the book charts after a tweet suggesting that Mabel the dog, who rose to fame during the pandemic with sports commentator Andrew Cotter, has released an autobiographical account of her life.

The news was broken on Twitter by Mr Cotter, with the broadcaster joking that while he is yet to read the tale, it was "disappointing to see" and that he has been told neither he nor his other dog Olive "come out of it well". Mabel and Ollie, both Labradors, burst onto the scene in 2020 during lockdown when Mr Cotter began to narrate their lives on social media.

As all sports were halted during the lockdown, Mr Cotter's work commentating on professional sports stopped and he started commentating on what his two dogs were up to. The videos often showed the two dogs competing with each other - with Olive often coming out on top - and were viewed by millions around the world.
