More: Copper is the most loving dog not only to my two young daughters, but to other animals. His favorite things to do are sleep (snoring loudly), eating and spending time outdoors with me caring for our other animals at home or fishing, hiking and hunting. Our first dog, Sasha, died at 13 years of age due to cancer. Unbeknownst to us and we didn't get to say goodbye. Check out beagleandfly on IG for many GREAT fishing/canine related pictures.
