Tumblr blog Text From Dog, which publishes fictitious SMS conversations between a dog and its owner, is the latest web entity to land a book deal.
U.K. publisher Headline Publishing announced Monday it would release the book Oct. 25.
The blog launched in April with a brief description: “My dog sends me texts. I post them here. Yeah, it’s weird.”
Text From Dog creator October Jones, whose dog is named Cooper, expressed his excitement on Twitter:
WOOF RT @thebookseller Headline to publish Texts From Dog: Headline has acquired a new humour title, Texts… bit.ly/P2ijit

Other blogs have found success entering the book market. Dear Photograph, a popular blog showcasing photos within photos, released a book earlier this year. And the Feminist Ryan Gosling blog unleashes a book in August. The books inspired by blogs are image heavy and contain very little text.
