Tantalising for Copper. Everyone knows the dogs that can do 'everything else but talk', but Copper, a magnificent Alsatian owned by Miss Mary Bringhurst of Atlanta, Georgia, can lay claim to the title. At the age of four Copper will perform 125 jobs at a word or signed from his owner. Once, when Miss Bringhurst was ill. The dog could understand it, trust to the kitchen and returned to her bedside with a dog biscuit, seeming to think that would help her get well. Photo shows,head resting on his paws and eyes closed, Copper 'says his prayers'. 30 April 1938
