Cooper's Signature Style Goes Stateside

Croyland Car Megastore mascot Cooper the dog's canine celebrity status has gone global following a request for his signature all the way from the United States.

An American autograph collector contacted Cooper at Croyland sending a letter, which has travelled thousand of miles, requesting Cooper adds his paw print to a collection of mascots signatures supplied from around the world.

Croyland's marvellous mascot has a local legion of fans in Rushden and Northamptonshire, where he has made numerous appearances at schools and events; however his fame and pooch popularity has now been recognised across the pond.

Cooper's clearly a dog in demand after receiving the personally penned request from Ramsey in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, asking for his autograph.

Autograph hunters are known for their dogged determination however Cooper's fan mail has travelled over 4,400 miles to reach the Rushden dealership.

In the letter, addressed personally to Cooper the Dog, Ramsey wrote: "Dear Cooper, I am sending you a big hug all the way from the United States! Wish I could meet you someday. I'm collecting autographs from mascots all over the world. If you could send me yours that would be great ...have a nice day!"
