I don't know the story here but sometimes two dogs just don't jive well together, although they may be perfectly fine with other dogs. And sometimes people don't give them a chance to "work it out". It can be trying bringing a new dog into the house and you have to be patient. I don't think it's a case of being one dog's fault. As people we don't like everyone we meet either!
Hopefully Cooper will find a better match soon!

My thoughts exactly. It can take a proper introduction, time, and space for two dogs to get along. Not to mention that a shelter dog like Cooper has been in the most stressful situation imaginable for a dog for who knows how long, with constant barking and limited interaction with people (though I know ACCT volunteers do an awesome job walking them and getting them out of the shelter, it's still limited). It's sad to see someone return a dog like that. I saw another recently who was returned for being "too energetic" after spending 3 months in a shelter cage. The family gave him 24 hours before returning him. That says to me that the family just wasn't ready for a dog. But anyway...

I really hope Cooper finds the right home soon! He's such a handsome, goofy looking guy!
