Cooper

Director of BARKeting

AKC-Certified Name: Cooper the Copper Doxie (but insists on “Cooper” for simplicity – titles are exhausting).

Age: 7 (but mentally still a 12-week-old tornado in need of a nap).

Tenure at Bake More Pies: Since August 2023, though he’s been Jonathan’s Shadow and Code Buddy since 2018, ensuring no line of code is written without a tail wag for accountability.

Professional Background:
Cooper presides over the Web Development team’s domain, affectionately dubbed Cooper’s Cave. His primary responsibilities include:

• Tail-Wagging Analytics: Boosting team morale by 127% (based on unverified studies and the dent in the file cabinet).
• Territorial Security: Barking at any noise-making device (keys, zippers, crinkling plastic) to assert dominance and warn other dogs: “This is my zone. Proceed with caution.”
• Client Relations: Ringing the “potty” bell mid-meeting to prove Bake More Pies has its ‘dog doo’ together. Bonus: His sudden bark intermissions keep Temas calls “engaging.”

Personal Interests:

• Strategic napping (90% of his day is dedicated to R&R, or as he calls it, “Recharging the Wag Engine”).
• Soul-piercing stares at catered lunches in an attempt to get a handout of shredded chicken.
• Licking coworkers’ faces to “debug” their stress (his version of a code review).

Fun Facts:

• Pee of Excitement: Overly enthusiastic greetings for new hires/clients in the main office often end in a bit of a puddle. Greet him in the Cooper Cave, he’s good.
• The Wagmaster Effect: If we could harness his tail-wagging energy, we’d power Tampa’s grid. Instead, he knocks over file cabinets (free office percussion section).
• Cheese Whisperer: At home, he believes any plastic crinkle is shredded cheese. Even sponges. Even receipts. Even the sound of a salad bag.

Favorite Pie: 4 Cheese & Chicken Pizza Pie (because Cooper’s obsession with cheese and poultry is the stuff of legends).
