Say hello to Doc Cooperman. According to his owner's daughter, this 5-year-old toy poodle "lived in NJ for a few years and braved the cold winters until we all moved to Florida, where he now enjoys the beautiful sunshine and warm weather year round ... My 84 year old father takes him to the dog park every single day, sometimes twice a day, where he plays with his buddies 🤩. Doc has the best life. Every morning I read him the Morning Brief so he can become the smartest poodle around 🤓."
