Copper was a frightened, shy dog until he came to us. We lined his kennel with pages from Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People and now he is an entirely different dog. He must have some hound or bird dog in him because he can sniff out a friend from 100 yards, but he is good on a leash and smiles often. You have to meet this guy!
