"No dog is above the law."

- Copper

Copper is a dog who appears in all the games until  along with his working partner, Booker. Copper's name comes from the slang term for police officer, "copper." He strongly resembles Japan's national breed, the Akita. In all games where he appears, Copper's dedication to professionalism and his work is in sharp contrast with Booker's doddering incompetence. Copper also prides early risers and warns the player to be careful when wandering around at night. Copper cannot tell the player about the lost and found, but he can tell them and type in friend codes with him. The player can visit other people's towns only by using WiiConnect24 or Nintendo WFC.

Copper displays extreme dedication to his job, sacrificing his own desires in order to fulfill his duties.
