Cooper was the best little friend anyone could ask for! He was a very lively dog right up to year 12. He loved everyone that came in the house. He was not much of a guard dog but we didn’t mind. A couple of times when we had house guests he would run down to wait by their door for them to get up. He also saved me twice. Cooper came into my life about ten days before I had three strokes. When I got out of the hospital and came home to relearn everything,, there was only me and my little boy. When things got bad and dark he would sense my frustration and sadness. He would come and cuddle up to me. His touch made everything better. Three years later he would step up and save me again when I needed him. He was always happy to see me and bring me one of his toys. We knew just how lucky we were to have him in our lives and his absence is heavy on my heart. Cooper, save me a place next to you buddy. I can’t wait to be with you again! Mommy and daddy love you, little boy!
