Hey you with the closed, spacious yard: How about taking Cooper home for the holidays?

He's a roughly 6 1/2-month-old, 50-pound spaniel mix - the South Euclid Humane Society thinks he looks like a Clumber Spaniel and Retriever blend.

And while Cooper knows basic commands like "sit" and "down," is cage trained and loves to fetch, especially for treats, he's a runner and needs to burn some of his energy in that yard of yours.

Cooper is very good with other dogs; he loves to chase cats. He's also has been exposed to kids big and small, though he's a jumper and may startle the little ones.

With proper training and patience he will overcome this hurdle.

Neutered Nov. 19, Cooper is up to date on all his shots. For more call his foster mom Patricia Warnock at 440-669-0272.
