Sparky was absolutely one of the best! We were so blessed to be able to have him in our lives for 21 years. We nick named him "The old man". He was so smart an loving! He loved doing a trick for a special treat. That special treat would be Smarties!!! He saw you holding Smarties he would do every trick in the book without hesitation. He never had any interest in toys. But he loved going on car rides! Especially long trips. He knew that meant we were going on an adventure an he was going to see an smell new things !!! Sparky was truly the meaning to mans best friend! He sure was mine!
