They've had people in stitches across the UK over the past few months with their hilarious viral videos.

Today the 46-year-old announced on Twitter that his now canine companions will be the subject of his latest project.

And he did in his own inimitable style, with a new post of his famous four-legged pals.

In the clip, he says to Olive: "What's that, you've got a book coming out? Olive, Mabel and Me? And you're upset she's got top billing? Well that's age, she's four years older than you, how do you think I feel, I'm third in the ranking? "

Then, looking at Mabel, he adds: "Yeah you're okay aren't you, do either of you even know how to write? And it can't be lots of pictures of bones. Well, good luck with it."

Andrew and his adorable dogs first found viral fame when the commentator talked social media users through the pair's nail-biting race to eat dinner.

The clip on Twitter was watched more than 10.4 million times by people right across the world so he decided to do a couple more and they proved to be a massive hit.

"Now Cotter shares stories of his adventures with his loveable (and occasionally exasperating) canine companions in this beautifully written, touching and laugh-out-loud funny new book."
