Copper

Copper is an American Staffordshire that me and my mom saved from certain death two and half years ago. We were coming back from going out to eat when some idiot in a car threw him into the street and took off. He luckily landed in the gutter instead of the oncoming traffic. Dazed and confused he just sat there, so me and my mom ran in front of cars trying to save him.

When we got to the other side of the road we scooped him up and we've had him since.He looked like he'd just been weaned. At first look, we thought he was an Akita mix or a Boxer. What he turned out to be was even better!

Well now he lives with us and my rescued Lab/Beagle mix Chewy. They are best friends. His only bad habit is that when he "finds" stuff he thinks is important, he buries it in my bed. I have found everything from food bowls to homework essays in my bed.

His most endearing quality is his way to make you laugh when you're down. Other than burying stuff and playing, he likes watching us play the playstation 2 by parking his butt in front of the screen and staring at it for hours. He also likes running in the park with us and Chewy on warm days. He's the one of the family (only cuter lol)!
