Jon will be a familiar face among @dundeeunitedfc fans and his guide dog Sam widely missed. His book about their relationship and tour of SPFL stadiums comes out May 1 @PitchPublishing @alanftemple @JimSpenceDundee thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyl…

Dundee United fan Jon's book became unexpected tribute to guide dog Sam

Labrador Sam died six weeks before the publication of Jon Attenborough's book about their tour of every SPFL stadium.

I've read Taylor Swift's poetic and metaphor-rich lyrics can be used to teach English. Any teachers in Courier country doing so? Hope it's not folklore. Speak now and tell me if Taylor's made it into your classroom.

Cracking morning on Isle of May with @sbrownphoto and @SteelySeabirder finding out what it’s like to live on a Forth island. Great ride out on the Osprey rib but learned my waterproofs aren’t waterproof!

I so enjoyed meeting this Arbroath family and writing their story. Little Phoebe Robertson-Carlin is the adorable result of a wonderful #surrogacy journey and the joy she brings her dads just shines through. thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyl… via @thecourieruk

How Phoebe was born to her two Arbroath dads through surrogacy

Mike Carlin and Kyle Robertson say they will be forever grateful to the woman who carried their 15-month-old tot.
