The Labradorables

Everyone agrees COVID-19 has dominated our lives this year, and not in a good way. So on 60 MINUTES comes a moment of long overdue respite where smiles are guaranteed to replace snarls. It's thanks to two adorable Labradors, Olive and Mabel, and their best friend, Andrew Cotter. He's a famous Scottish sports commentator who was forced off air when the pandemic hit and shut down major events like Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics. However, instead of simply accepting unemployment, Andrew took his microphone home and made Olive and Mabel his sport. He saw magic in the mundane lives of his mutts – and turned them into worldwide internet sensations.
