Veterans for fallen comrades - Thank you to our service men and women
This is a picture of a painting done of one of Cooperstown's pups Tucker (Nellie x Flame) and a US Army serviceman. This is a painting done by a very talented young lady (High School) to honor our service men and women. We are very happy that Tucker could be a part of this awesome tribute.
