What a wonderful video...Thankyou so much for sharing this with us all...not allowed animals where I live...always had cats.. Miss having them around!! God bless you sir Best wishes Bob in Bristol uk
Thank you for this video.... The reference to Andrew Cotter and Olive and Mabel is what got me to click on this video. But there ended up being more to it than these three wonderful amigos... with the moving dedication to fast friend Mark, and the touching introduction to the gorgeous Marco doggo... Lovely video. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful moments with Andrew, Olive, Mable and Marco. You captured them all perfectly. Your tribute to your dear friend was very moving.
Sooo beautifully done...in all respects... Photos, writing narration, revelations, (yes Andrew Cotter IS quite handsome) counsel on adopting a dog & homage to your dear, dear friend. A kind & heartfelt thank you for reminding me about the joyful & hilarious moments Olive, Mable & Andrew gifted to the world during the worst global crisis in our lifetime.
I was drawn to this because of the title. Got a lot more than I expected. I’ve had two yellow Labradors, they were litter brothers, for 13 years. They crossed the rainbow bridge in 2017 & 2018. Their passing still hurts, but watching Andrew and his gorgeous girls brings back so many wonderful memories of my boys. I hope you have many years of absolute joy with your beautiful boy Marco, Fred. ❤❤❤❤
During that awful time, there were a few things that got me through it, Andrew, Olive and Mabel’s videos was one of them. I could listen to Andrew reading the phone book. His audio book, Dog Days, is great as he reads it himself, highly recommended. Marco is adorable
What a poignant tribute to your friend. The pictures of Mr. Cotter, Olive, and Mabel are spectacular. Wishing you many happy memories made with Marco.😊
Stumbled on to your RUclips channel when I saw Olive and Mabel. Little did I know I’d get a bonus with Marco. What a lovely and lucky dog! We rescued our dog and shows he is so grateful everyday but we are more so because he really rescued us! Dogs are amazing!
Andrew's wry humor and his dear dogs lifted so many of us during the pandemic. I for one eagerly awaited his posts.. Who knew he was such a handsome man as well. Thanks for this post. Marco looks like quite a character.
I know nothing about photography - I can barely get my snapshots of dinner to focus - but I do know dogs and the joy they can bring, and this was beautiful.
What a beautiful story. It made me tear up numerous times. I, too, always look forward to Mr. Cotter's videos. I happened to read his book first. I had no idea who he was. The book was wonderful, and then I discovered the videos. Your Marco is one gorgeous dog. Definitely, heaven sent. I am happy you have him with you and your family now. Thank you for sharing this, and God bless. Give Marco a hug for me.
@annehallok - “Olive and Mabel: the dogs that broke the internet” was my first introduction to a lifelong addiction. The three of them (plus That Voice) got most of us through Lockdowns 1 and 2. Mr Cotter got millions of responses from all over the world, from Australia to Zaire when he posted the first clip. He’ll always be appreciated for being such a sanity saver 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Simply stunning lighting, no wonder it's called the golden hour. Love the footage of Marko being trapped by the sheep, he'll not be one to chase them after that lesson.
What a lovely narrative! Thank you for posting a behind the scenes, so to speak, for our r enjoyment of the Cotter clan! I would love to see further video of your scamp Marko! 💕
@@fredandharryborden Yes, I loved the story, too, and the tips on photography. Your words are encouraging. I have my Lu now and my beautiful lady Lulu I lost last year. theronnierepublic.blogspot.com/2024/03/sunflowers-and-my-best-friend.html#google_vignette ruclips.net/video/dvgys0wDaf4/видео.html
Wonderful photos of Olive, Mabel and Mr Cotter, and such a beautiful story. I too love photographing dogs, and agree they bring something special to our lives. I am loving the channel which is such a refreshing change from gear reviews and tech talk. You are a master story teller, and I have been binge watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Yes to all of that! We just got our most recent furry friend. We’re 77 and 88, and have both had dogs since we were little. This one is so important to us. She makes us smile every day!
Can't beat a dog! Harry and I were thinking of doing a video on celebrities and their pets as he has photographed quite a few with their dogs. Thought it could be an interesting video!
Great story, images and dog! You wouldn't have trouble capturing my adopted two photographically (Lurcher and Labrador) as they are horizontal and inert most of the time!
Great short video. Olive, Mabel got us through that mess also. Then we lost our Golden retriever. She was so grand, we still have not quite got another dog, yet.
I came for Mabel and Olive but what a heartfelt story you shared so beautifully! And the artistry of your work is incredible. Subscribed! I look forward to reading more about it in Andrew’s second book. Marco and his tail wags have me hooked as well. Thank you so much for sharing!
If you want to experience pure joy ,watch your dog enjoying life, it swell the heart and lifts the spirits and never mind the black fur balls that ghost through the house
While I agree with sentiment, the gut wrenching pain and loss of my dog dying was too much. I never want to go through that again. Jessie Girl was a good girl, even after two years I still hurt inside when I think of her passing. I just never want to go through that again. I hope your Marco lives a long, long time. Cheers
Over many decades I have lost a number of pets and understand the grief of losing much loved companions who became family, but there are always so many other, often desperate, homeless and unloved little furry friends out there needing the sort of love, care and attention you gave Jessie Girl and who will always be grateful you rescued them if you give them a chance. Please think again. I remember all my little friends with some sadness at times even now, but I know they had better, longer, happier and more secure lives than they would have had otherwise because all but one were rescues and strays, and each one helped me with the pain of the loss of the previous one. Please visit a rescue centre and let another little one into your heart. You won't regret it. ❤️
I grieved for two years after losing my girl. Raw, physical pain that hurt so much I couldn't breathe. It was 5 years before I felt ready to welcome another dog into my life and I found a retired rescue greyhound who truth told, rescued me. I feel your pain, and the love you have for your dog will always remain and hopefully that will allow you in time to move on. Be kind to yourself ❤
I have a year old lab/Nova Scotia duck toller who is black with a small white strip on his chest and a 17 year old papillon. It’s fun getting pictures of them both although a challenge at times to get the right light for a black lab.
You set yourself up when you told your son you were off to purchase a washer! One black lab mix later and you will need a new washer sooner than you think! Lovely story. Best wishes and a few belly rubs from an Ohio dog lover 😊.
I’m desperately in love with olive and Mabel. I literally have a squeeze in my heart when I know their lovely dad Andrew has uploaded a video. Who else truly believes he should quit his job and film every day??
Owning both Cockers and Labradors I can't imagine what madness lead someone to cross them. Owning both Cockers and Labradors I can imagine what a wonderful dog Marco must be.
Marko is a cool dog! We have a Working Cocker Spaniel called Bailey. He's jet black and fiendishly difficult to get a decent photo of his coat, which takes on a blue-ish sheen on colour images. Any tips on how to avoid this, please? Really enjoying your series.
Olive, Mabel, and Mr. Cotter provided liteness and light during the pandemic. Thank you for this wonderful story.
Hugs to Marco.

Lovely! Thank you. So many of us love Olive, Mable and Andrew. We’ll add Marko, too, and I think you. This is a wonderful tribute to Mark and all.
What a lovely video. Just beautiful in so many ways.

Aww. Marco is so wonderfully silly and likeable. Thank you for sharing these stories.

A Cockador, an interesting combination, but how wonderful. Lovely photos of Olive and Mabel oh, and Mr C of course.
Andrew and the girls kept me sane ❤

@@madeleineprice9645 I totally agree.
Beautiful video, amazing pictures.
My goodness, this was so heartfelt. As a fan of Andrew and the pups (and as a yellow lab mum), this really touched my heart. Marco has a good family.
Absolutely loved this. Thank you.
What a gem of a video in so many ways. ❤
Marco is beautiful-his coat so shiny. May you have many happy, healthy years together.
Simply stunning lighting, no wonder it's called the golden hour. Love the footage of Marko being trapped by the sheep, he'll not be one to chase them after that lesson.

This vlog was pure joy , well done
What a heart-warming video - thank you for sharing - I clicked for Olive Mable and Andrew - stayed for you and Marco. Just wonderful ❤
Gloaming - the most wonderful time of the day.
Thank you, so lovely.
Loved this so much ! I’m crazy about Andrew Cotters dogs! But your sweet Marco is just beautiful!
Labradors are amazing dogs❤I love them so much💝💐💕
I was captivated by your narrative. What a natural storyteller you are. It's a rare gift. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed :)

Yes, Olive & Mabel got me through Covid too.
Awww the love of dogs is something so special and which connects us humans 🥰
Having a Labrador and being Scottish I was so happy to find Olive and Mabel during the pandemic.
You will never regret bring Marco into your life. Those are wonderful photos of the Cotter pack.
Thank you! 😊
Instructive, as always, and a little moving, too. Getting ahead of that storm was really clever
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed

I is always amazing how different we perceive things. I like those second day pictures far more 🙂 Excellent story as always so far Sir 🙂
The commitment is real, I have 4 labradors. This was a great little piece to endulge in, thank you!
Thank you for sharing, your work is amazing! It’s wonderful how much Andrew and Olive and Mable has made the world a better place.
Thank you so much! And totally agree!

yes - go for it@@fredandharryborden
Great story, images and dog!

Marco is gorgeous and such a nice way to remember your friend.
Thankyou for sharing your story. Touched my heart.
Excellent capture of the light and dark dogs! Not easy…
Makes me want to go out and photograph my lab in the rain.
Your beautiful Marco is utterly stunning. Congratulations for bringing him into your damily
What a handsome boy Marco is. thanks for sharing!
Great short video. Olive, Mabel got us through that mess also. Then we lost our Golden retriever. She was so grand, we still have not quite got another dog, yet.

That was lovely. Thank you.
Marco is beautiful 😍 We also have a cockerdor called Byron. They are wonderful dogs 🐕 😊
Marco is the best dog I've ever known. I'd never heard of cockerdors before but am a huge fan now! 🙂
If you want to experience pure joy ,watch your dog enjoying life, it swell the heart and lifts the spirits and never mind the black fur balls that ghost through the house
Marco looks sweet! We have a black Lab rescue - our second. Our last one behaved more like Olive and this one more like Mabel! Enjoy your dog!
Just stumbled onto this. Very interesting!❤

One of the worst feelings losing a dog, I still have dreams of my first dog. Thanks for the comment.

I’ve found the only way to heal my broken heart after the death of my dog is to get another ❤

Spaniel/Lab cross sounds great fun to me, cannot imagine why there are not more.
He is great fun 😁
My dogs and I really enjoy Olive and Mabel.
Marco is a gorgeous boy! The dogs make all the difference. ❤

I have a lab/ collie mix. Two very boisterous breeds, Life is not dull when Meabh is around!!!
Marko is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful.
Beautiful🖐
❤❤❤❤
Marko is gorgeous.
Being a bit pushy has served me well. What's the worst that can happen, they say no?
Owning both Cockers and Labradors I can't imagine what madness lead someone to cross them. Owning both Cockers and Labradors I can imagine what a wonderful dog Marco must be.

A dog is a gift.
Marko is beautiful oh!

Really enjoying your series.
It's most likely all about lighting! Soft directional/horizontal light and correct exposure!
Glad you enjoyed!
Do the two dogs know how famous they are??
♥
S o o handsome. WOWOWOW
Wry sense of humor? Who knew?
Lovely tales, but please don't repeat "ying and yang." It's YIN and yang.
