Cooper is a happy chappy

Welcome to your Puppy Pen! And thank you for sponsoring Cooper!

Cooper is content when he’s snoozing, thrilled when he’s playing in the garden, and blissful when playing with other puppies. Overall, he’s a happy chappy!

His Volunteer Puppy Trainer Clare explains: “Cooper loves playing with another hearing dog in training whom we’re looking after. They play together, run around lots, and then sleep cuddled up to each other. It’s so cute.”

Indeed, Cooper has a lovely life in which everything is a delight.

Back to Clare: “He loves running off with our garden shoes – in fact, any of our shoes, especially those with laces, and especially those we’re about to wear, oddly enough.”

“Outdoors, he adores watching the birds on the feeders, plus the squirrels, which fascinate him. Indoors, he even sleeps cheerfully, with little puppy snuffles as he dreams about, presumably, shoes, laces, birds and squirrels.”

Cooper’s favourite places are the garden, and his bed in the kitchen.

So, between active times frolicking in the garden, and sleepy times all curled up in his fleecy bed, what else does Cooper like?

“Food,” says Clare. “Always food. He’s a Labrador after all!”

Ah yes, Labradors and their food. Cooper’s happiness is matched only by his love of food. This makes him a happy chappy with a bit of puppy fat. But don’t worry, he’ll grow into his skin. One day he’ll be magnificent, glossy and sleek, and will change a deaf person’s life, and spread his happiness far and wide.

Clare tells us: “Cooper is progressing really well already. He’s very keen to learn.” She’s looked after lots of our dogs in the past, so she knows what she’s talking about. All our puppies have a certain ‘spark’ that marks them out, and it was Cooper’s desire to take everything in that made us think he could be ‘the one’. We were right!

He's such a lovely little Lab, and he looks fabulous against black...

We're so thrilled that you're supporting Cooper. He's at the very beginning of his journey, towards helping a deaf person to leave loneliness behind. We'll be taking this journey together - how exciting!

Until the next Puppy Pen, thank you so much for sponsoring Cooper.
