Could any dog be cuter or more charming than Cooper?

Cooper has been to schools, retirement homes, a local library and Alyson’s office. He enjoys visiting his mom’s work place because he’s the center of attention and a “hot topic” in the break room on just how sweet and loving he is!

A black retriever-mix is sitting in the backseat of the car.Cooper’s favorite place to visit is his grandmother’s elementary school. She’s the literacy coach at Indialantic Elementary and hosts a monthly reading time with the East team. Cooper was greeted with endless compliments and pets and Alyson was thrilled to blend her love for Cooper with her love for both family and reading. Cooper, needless to say, enjoyed being the center of the students’ endless attention.

Cooper, who has a dog brother, Bozeman and a cat sister, Savanna, enjoys camping and traveling. He’s done a road trip to Maine, ridden the high-speed ferry to Nantucket and subways in Boston. Every year he joins his family on a weeklong camping trip to Asheville, NC. He also enjoys attending baseball games at UCF and Loan Depot Park when they host dog day. His family has fostered over 10 dogs for GRRMF and he’s welcomed them all and helped teach them all about routine.
