PROGRAM

This week’s speaker was Cooper the Comfort Dog (in training).  We presented Cooper and his trainers a check and two scarves that say CU SUNRISE ROTARY COOPER.

Cooper is a toy Goldendoodle out of Arthur, IL.  Cooper is in training for approximately two years. His trainers will take him many places to be with people. Training also includes a high intensity training through the Canine Institute.

Cooper is very intelligent and learns quickly. He gets bored easily so his trainers have lots of puzzles and other things for him to do.

Our meeting was very brief so we socialized and caught up with each other.

Ata thanked everyone for completing the survey. More to come.
