Tumblr blog Text From Dog has landed a book deal. The website publishes fictitious SMS conversations between a dog and its owner with humorous results.
U.K. Publisher Headline Publishing will release the book on October 25.
Launched in April the blog offers the following description:
“My dog sends me texts. I post them here. Yeah, it’s weird.”
Text From Dog creator October Jones and his dog Cooper expressed their excitement on Twitter, tweeting to their many fans:
