Copper's Angels

You don't need to be a dog lover to fall in love with these eyes. Copper had this amazing ability to bring joy to so many, warm hearts and just make people smile. He would regularly wander over to join the neighborhood driveway wine club in hopes that in return for his love and affection, he would be rewarded with plenty of treats, cheese, and crackers. Copper would become a source of comfort as a neighbor adapts to his new dementia diagnosis. They would often sit on the lawn under the tree together as Copper would seem to listen to every word.  

In October 2021 Copper was struck by a car and made his way next to the railroad tracks. Soon the commuter train went by and spotted a dog in distress and reported it to local animal control. On his return route, the conductor noticed him still lying there and stopped the train. With the assistance of another, they carefully picked up my 100lb boy, put him on the train, and headed into North Station. Soon his wife would meet them in Boston and they desperately reach out to every overflowing animal hospital in the area, eventually making their way to the only available room in Hampstead, New Hampshire where they would bring him in and sit in the parking lot until we arrived.

Unfortunately due to the severity of his injuries, we had to make the extremely difficult decision to put him down. As we drove home we contacted the couple and learned of Copper's journey of his first and last train ride with this amazing man we only know as Rob. When asked, "Why would you stop a train for a dog you don't even know?" he said,  "I didn't care if I lost my job, I needed to make sure he was okay".

After all that we have been through over the last few years, I feel that somehow the compassion and ability to help others have been lost and this has truly restored my faith in humanity. Rob not only put his job in jeopardy but he spared my children and our small community the trauma of finding him in that condition. Copper was treated with the utmost kindness and respect that he truly deserved. Rob and his wife Jen, would not accept any money, gifts and wouldn't even give us a last name, just a simple "Thank You" is all.

After much thought of how to find the perfect way to pay this random act of kindness forward, we decided to rebrand to Copper Hearts, LLC. With this, we would include Copper's Angels, where we take a portion of every sale and each month create beautiful gift baskets with our finest creations and donate it to local charities to help raise much needed funds and help others. 

Each or our products we create are designed to bring people together, create happiness and continue to make memories for years to come. We hope that what we do will in some way make a difference in peoples lives.
