From Del Cleek, K.V. PetPALS, K.V. 4-H Explorers Club, Jasper County, Indiana:

Copper was a rescued Golden Retriever. Many in Jasper County are familiar with his big red head, and soulful brown eyes. Copper had a job. A very important job. He was the Lead Team Member of the K.V. Pet PALS and spent the last six years visiting care facilities and teaching humane education programs throughout the region. Copper taught hundreds of kids how to approach dogs safely, how to care for dogs and how to visit care facilities with their pets. He visited hundreds of residents at various care centers in Jasper, Newton, Lake and Porter Counties...
