About this ebook

In April 2012, English animator Joe Butcher discovered he could send text messages to HIMSELF on his mobile phone. Naturally, Butcher decided that the best use for this feature would be to send passive aggressive messages to his fictional alter ego October Jones, under the guise of Cooper, his British Bulldog. A classic tale of Man & Dog for the gadget driven internet generation. After taking screenshots of his canine conversations, Butcher posted them to his 10,000 Twitter followers, then created a Tumblr, which attracted over 80,000 followers in a month. Now the further exploits of Dog and his weary owner have been brought together in this hilarious book, which includes over 100 texts not seen on the website.

Really enjoyed it, quite a few giggle moments ... a pity some of the texts were repeated - you need me as a proofreader. Looking forward to reading the next one. Be a good girl BatDog :p xx

Super fun read for an hour or so. But too costly given the no of pages-252. A few jokes have been repeated, but that's ok, they are still fun to read.

About the author

Joe Butcher (October Jones) was born and raised in Birmingham, England. Ironically, he spent most of his childhood terrified of dogs.
Joe developed a keen interest in visual storytelling at school, and he attended the University of Wolverhampton where he came away with a shiny first class degree in animation.
Joe eventually landed a job at a small media company in Derby, where to this day he designs learning software for kids.
He has recently worked on animation projects for the BBC, as well as doing music videos for UK comedy band 'The Amateur Transplants'
Despite being almost 30 years old, Joe has wonderful Lego Star Wars collection and no girlfriend. These two facts are not connected. He currently lives in Stourbridge with his bulldog 'Cooper'.
