Cooper
Head of Safety
Cooper’s field of expertise is keeping staff and clients safe and entertained. He is in charge of treats and toys, while making sure that no one passes by the office unnoticed. He’s a true asset with his extraordinary knowledge in testing the durability of tennis balls and shoes, as well as in his double function as undercover paper shredder.
His favorite pastime is making his humans throw sticks for him. He loves to take extensive walks in the woods or around our beautiful lakes.
