Meet Chopper: The New Biker Dog In Town!
 

SAN DIEGO, CA - (2009)  11 months after the passing of Bandit, a new "biker dog" has found his way into the home and heart of owner Mark Shaffer. A little Boston Terrier was born August 3, 2009 in Santa Clarita, CA.  Sixteen weeks later, The puppy and Mark were introduced.  It was love at first site/meeting. On November 8, 2009, the puppy (named "Dexter" at birth) was renamed  "Chopper" by Mark and was brought to his new home in San Diego.
 
After just 4 weeks at home with Mark, Chopper was already riding on Mark's full size Harley Davidson in the custom made saddlebag, the same saddlebag where Bandit started his riding career. Chopper took to riding the Harley naturally and made his first appearance at the 2009 Toys for Tot's motorcycle ride. Shortly thereafter, Chopper appeared at the annual "Shop with a Cop" event, in which numerous police organizations come together and take over 250 "less fortunate" children shopping for Christmas gifts.
 
Chopper has been invited to participate in upcoming events for the Armed Forces, YMCA and "The Nice Guys" organization in the San Diego area. He has already been introduced to San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and his wife, Rana, as well as the San Diego Police Chief and his Assistant Chiefs, the Police Chief for the city of El Cajon CA, the Mayor of El Cajon, the National Little League Champions, and others. Needless to say, Chopper has established his credentials at an early age.

An enthusiastic Shaffer said, "I’m really looking forward to getting back out in the community now with Chopper, after being away for the past 11 months."  So look for Mark and Chopper the Biker Dog out in the community in the coming days, months and years to come. The torch has been passed, and the spirit of Bandit The Biker Dog lives on in Chopper.

 By all accounts, it appears the legend is in good paws


Chopper Spends Veteran's Day
with Heros

 

San Diego, CA - (2011) So Veteran’s day has come and gone, once again. To many, it meant a 3-day week-end mini-vacation. In warm weather states, that might mean a bar-b-queue with friends, followed Saturday by watching college football on the new 55” high definition TV you just treated yourself to. Sunday, it’s time to wash the car, go to church and then meet your friends at the local pub for a full slate of NFL games. The big question: Chicken Wings or the Pulled Pork sandwich?

Chopper Supports the
Wounded Warrior Project

 

SAN DIEGO, CA - (2011) San Diego’s “Chopper The Biker Dog” has long established his support for the military. So when he became aware of the Wounded Warriors project  he knew he just had to do what he could to show these heroes just how much he appreciated their efforts. At the same time, Chopper wanted to help spread the word to the public about this worthwhile organization along with the size and scope of their efforts on behalf of these men and women who have given their all in service to their country… and now, because of their severe wounds suffered in combat, need our help in return.

So from May of this year until his 2nd birthday (August 3rd), Chopper decided to donate $1 from the the sale of every "Chopper the Biker Dog" Patch to the Wounded Warrior Project.  At every appearance during this 3 month period, Chopper made it a point to bring the Wounded Warrior Project to the attention of his fans. And it worked!    read complete story >>>

Chopper Takes Top Dog Honors
At "Fiesta del Paws"

San Diego, CA – (2010) Anyone who has ever had a pet knows the important role they play in our lives every day. But the love and devotion of a pet is particularly important to one who is sick, elderly or disabled. Unfortunately, it's often at the time a person needs their pet the most that they are least able to care for them due to reasons beyond their control either physically or financially due to their age or health-related crisis. This is where PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support)  San Diego County, Inc. steps up to help.
