For Pete's Sake

Sports commentator held a Zoom meeting with his dogs, and it was hilarious

During the coronavirus stay-at-home order, people around the world have gotten to know Andrew Cotter’s dogs.

Cotter, a sports commentator who lives in Scotland and works for the BBC, has shared videos of Mabel and Olive on Twitter. His dogs took part in the “Dog’s Breakfast Grand Finale,” an eating contest that has been viewed more than 10 million times on Twitter.

A video of the competition for a rubber bone, in which Mabel snatches victory at the last moment, has more than 19 million views.

For people who love dogs, enjoy a good laugh and are starved for sports, Cotter’s videos have been a nice distraction from the mundane that has accompanied the self-quarantine.

Cotter’s latest creation isn’t sports related, but it’s a scene we can (kind of) understand: a video conference.

In this, Cotter notes that neither dog will be furloughed, but they’ve ruined the sofa and “913 squirrels chased and none caught.”

It’s a funny video:
