Cooper is a dog who has been around a while, and he’s put that time to use learning a few good tricks, although his favorite one is definitely an acquired taste. Whenever children come around to pet him, he likes to roll over on his back and aim a steady stream of urine onto their shoes. Consider yourself warned.

Over the years, he’s won many ribbons at the Dog Days of Summer Guemes Island Dog Show, where he took Best in Show in 2019. His specialty event is the agility competition, but if there was a category for Good Ol’ Dog, he’d win it every time.

His favorite pastimes are eating and hiking. If he came back as a human, he'd work at a summer camp where he would be a trail guide by day so he could work up an appetite, and a short-order cook at night so he could eat the food right off the grill.
