Copper is a dog who appears in all the Animal Crossing series games 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 four games, 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 him or her 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.

	#279 Copper & Booker
	The guards stationed at the town gate through which travelers come and go. Copper, who's on the right, is in charge of traveling via Nintendo WFC, and Booker on the left runs the lost and found. Booker's a cute fellow who's known for his indecisive manner...maybe. Copper's diligent, dedicated, and always ready to lend a helping paw.
