	~ Copper to Tod.

Copper is a hound dog and one of the titular protagonists (along with Tod) of The Fox and the Hound and its 2006 midquel.

He is the best friend of Tod, the pet of Amos Slade and the "son" and somewhat "student" of Amos' other dog Chief.

He is voiced by Corey Feldman (who also voices Sparx & Slash) as a pup, Kurt Russell as an adult and Harrison Fahn (who also voices Elvis & Young Ron Stoppable) in the midquel.

Although Copper is the deuteragonist of The Fox and the Hound and it's 2006 midquel, he was an antagonist when he was an adult as he tried to kill his best friend, Tod and he also helped Amos Slade with his plans to kill Tod but he late reforms at the end and then Tod and Copper became friends again.

Personality

As a puppy, Copper is fairly curious. He has an excellent sense of smell, which made prone to wandering off, following various scents. One of these instances led to him befriending Tod, being unaware that the two were natural enemies. However, he could be slightly cautious, especially around his owner and the older Chief.

As an adult, he is much more serious, having been trained as a hunting dog. However, he does not initially go for Chief's theory that a hunting dog must be nasty, preferring to simply TRACK and smell out game. His training leads him to break off his relationship with Tod. However, he spares his friend out of past friendship until Chief is injured in an accident, at which time he becomes focused on revenge. However, their friendship would be rekindled, in a distant manner, when Tod saved him and his master from a rampaging bear. Copper would later repay his friend brave efforts by keeping his still-mad boss from shooting Tod.

In the 2006 midquel, it seems that he was unable to do things right.
