Compassionate Cooper wears her heart on her face in the name of love! According to Cooper’s adoring mom Amy, Cooper loves interacting with the staff in the hospitals they visit. She does exceptionally well in cancer infusion wards where the patients who are in recliners can easily meet her. She also enjoys when children read to her in a library setting.
When she’s not working, Cooper, who’s definitely a water dog, LOVES swimming in the ocean and jumping off docks into lakes.
Endlessly entertaining, Cooper amuses – and perplexes — her family by greeting them at the front door with their socks in her mouth, demanding ice cubes after breakfast in the morning and barking at their bedroom door if they go to bed too late!
“We love all the people involved in this organization,” Amy says, “and look forward to spending more time with everyone in the future.”
