| Hi cozy, I agree perhaps the neighbor had concern but was totally out of line how it was handled. I agree if coop would have performed he may still be in that cage. It's amazing to me the ability dogs have to recover and trust again. I hope his last four years with me have erased the first two horrible years. He still has a few quirks like he jumps in the shower to pee because of the drain like he had in in his cage. ( now he has his own bathroom to do it in) Sometimes he uses mine ;(. He also runs in circles when he gets excited. Everyone loves this but me. It's cute but reminds me he could only go in circles in that cage. It took coop a while to learn how to be a dog and what normal should be but I'm happy to report he is living the life at my house. I rescued him about a week after I had to put my first dog to sleep. I was devastated so was my other yorkie shaffer. We both needed another dog. I often say I'm not sure who rescued who.. Shaffer was not a good only dog, shaffer helped coop and coop helped us. Shaffer only lived about a year with cooper but he taught him everything he needed. |

| I am sitting here crying after reading what you wrote, poor little Cooper, how lucky he is to have you in his life, most people including myself would probably not have taken him in, you are a saint and his saviour. While it is nice that someone is concerned about a pet the way they went about it was all wrong. You will now probably be the most well liked person in your neighborhood among those that love animals. Please let us know what type of reaction you get from your neighbors.

As far as being anonymous, some say it's a coward's way, but if you've ever spoken up, you know that if there was ever indeed abuse, those people will then abuse you. I hope this person introduces herself to you, I'll bet you two have more in common than you realize. Just want to add, God Bless you for saving that little guys life!

| Omg. I just read this and I can't believe what you have done for the little guy. There are no words to say how much of a saint you are for taking such good care of him. There are numerous people that would think of the vet bills and walk away right there. Bless you for being such a loving mom to Coop. As for the random note, I really hope you find out who left it and are able to explain in person what a lovely dog Coop is. I think your note was excellent. I couldn't have written it better myself, and I really think you will get the response you deserve: compassion and understanding. Like I said before, I don't know many people that would put the time, effort, and money into keeping that little guy comfortable like you have. Please post once you have heard from the mystery neighbor.

| Honestly I probably would have left a note like your neighbor. If you caused Cooper's symptoms or weren't getting him help you'd have to be crazy or horrible and I'd be afraid to confront you. It's great that Cooper has you, most people couldn't handle a dog with so many special needs. |

Donating YT Addict | I would deliver a note to gate guy and ask him to give it to person that is concerned. Id explain everything you just did here. And ask them to please come talk to you in person is they have any other concerns. Just let them know you are doing everything for your furbaby that you can. Note to you.. If they call animal control on you oh well. Your taking care of furbaby. Let them. Then you can explain your side to animal control. I see you did write a note. Great job! You just keep taking care of Cooper and dont worry about the haters. LOL If you know what I mean.

| THATS what I'm talkin bout!!!! THAT is the kind of good will that SHOULD have been what that nosey neighbor did in the first place! THAT is the kind of concern that glows with sincerity, rather than threats to involve animal control into a situation she knew absolutely NOTHING about! Great!!!!! |

| I'm sure the person feels really bad and was saying I'm sorry the best way she/he knew how. |

AND, by kindly educating the neighbors, Cooper's been given a whole new circle of friends! These acts of compassion will, I have no doubt, pay dividends in ways you won't know. Children in those households will remember the story of Cooper. Even if they have no pets now, they will know what a good pet owner does and how to be one when they are older. I just love what you've done for Cooper and for your neighbors. Thank you! Wishing you and Coop all good things.
