Lucy appears in Cooper’s ebook Dear Diary, Love Cooper: Adventures of One Cool Guide Dog. It’s one of my favourite of his stories (read it free here on Medium). Then, you’ll probably wish you could read more of Cooper’s stories. If so, the link to his book is at the end.

Who is Lucy?

She was a sweet, sensitive mother figure to Cooper. A little black lab who leaned into your leg if she liked you; she sensed if you were a dog person.

When Lucy came over to hang out with us, she and Cooper would play until she decided it was time to relax — then they would just be together.

Lucy was older than Cooper, and she took him under her wing, quietly looking out for him. When Cooper appeared to need a defender, she was it — adamantly.

Lucy has earned her angel wings 🌈 a lovely double set if that were possible, and she is deeply missed.

With my ebook 'Dear Diary, Love Coper,' I wish to raise awareness of sight loss and guide dogs. It's light and informative, and the dog tells the stories 🇨🇦
