RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif.—A special visitor made a stop at the Helen Woodward Animal Center Dec. 20, bringing treats and toys to orphaned pets in memory of his late wife.

Bob Cooper continued the tradition of his wife Karen, who died in May, as a reminder to pets in shelters that they haven’t been forgotten. When Karen passed away, Bob set up the charity The Angel of the Forgotten in her honor.
