Book Description

25 Oct 2012
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.

Review

'Brilliant' (Mark Gatiss (Writer/Actor; BBC's 'Sherlock', 'Doctor Who' and 'The League of Gentlemen') )

"'Texts From Dog' is my new favourite thing" (Graham Linehan (Writer; 'Father Ted', 'Black Books', 'The IT Crowd') )

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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun! 30 Oct 2012
Format:Hardcover
If, like me, you've been following Texts From Dog online, then this is a must-have!

It's great to see them all together, right from day one, and genuinely contains numerous laugh out loud moments.

It's been well put-together, with some amusing illustrations too.

A superb stocking-filler for Xmas or just a little treat for yourself.

Text from Dog has been making me laugh since I started following online. I've been looking forward to the book ever since I heard it was coming out and it didn't disappoint! Even funnier than on Tumblr. Definitely worth a read...

Read the book from cover to cover, although that's not too hard, was brilliant and funny, a great read to lighten any mood.

When's the sequel?

4.0 out of 5 stars Made me laugh
Funny book, but there wasn't much that hadn't already been on his site (tumblr? I forget), and it wasn't as long as I had expected given the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny but too short
Very funny texts but not long enough. £5 and finished within 25 minutes of reading. Value for money is a bit off.
