Copper, the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Therapy dog, visited Resthave Care & Rehabilitation, 408 Maple Avenue, Morrison, IL, on Thursday March 31, 2022. He is a Golden Doodle, whose sire and dam were a Golden Retriever and Poodle.
He brought his handler, Lt. Kim Cavazos, and Sheriff John Booker.
“The residents thoroughly enjoyed their visit with Copper! They were surprised at how well-behaved he was, because he is still just a puppy at 10 months old,” reported Burn.
“Lt. Cavazos said this was the first Nursing/Assisted Living home Copper has been to visit.”
