In memory of Carter
Carter was loved from the moment we saw him - when we went to “look” at puppies at a Coppers Dream adoption event in 2016. Carter was our first dog as a couple and taught us all about unconditional love. He was sassy, spunky and so full of love. We were together for 8 1/2 years. He left us too soon.. We love you Carter Magoo, thank you for choosing us to be your humans.
