More: Cooper was given to me in order to get him out of a bad situation. He was 3 years old at the time and his owners had him tied to a cement block in side a steel shed filled with limestone. When I first got him he was wild and out of control and I didn’t know if I would be able to settle him down. Now, 8 years later, he has not only become my best friend but he is a great source of emotional support and energy each and every day. His lust for life is contagious. He is a blessing!
