More: Cooper is our first family dog. He was a birthday gift for our son John (as seen in pic). It’s true that the dog chooses the human, out of a litter of 9 he wouldn’t leave John’s side. He has become our 4th child. We all enjoy being outdoors in all the seasons. He lives lakeside & is lucky enough to swim everyday unless of coarse we’re ice skating on the frozen lake. Not sure what he loves more, jumping in the lake or jumping in a snow pile. We are more lucky than Cooper to have him as part of our family! This picture was taken slope side at Bretton Woods ski resort in NH. Cooper & John get to spend their winter weekends there.
