My city...Duarte
A little about me...Cooper’s Story
I was almost out of time.
Tomorrow, I was headed to the shelter. My heart was heavy—I’d tried to be good, to be lovable. But sometimes, life just doesn’t go your way.
Then something changed. That night, my future humans came over to hang out with a family member. I don’t know what made them look at me twice—maybe it was the hopeful wag in my tail, or how I leaned into their touch like I’d known them forever. Either way, something clicked.
And just like that, I never made it to the shelter.
Now? I’m living a dream. I sleep curled up on their bed, snoring softly while they laugh and call me their “spoiled prince.” I’ve got a personal snack stash that would make other dogs jealous—sweet potato chews, peanut butter bones, and sometimes even a nibble of cheese when no one’s looking.
Weekends are the best part. We go on adventures—trails, beaches, parks—but my favorite days are when we visit new coffee shops. The workers always smile, scratch my ears, and tell me how handsome I am. I sit calmly, soaking it all in, because I am well-behaved… and maybe just a little proud.
I was almost forgotten.
Now I’m unforgettable.
