Sparky, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sparky
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male Breed: Rat Terrier
Home: Kansas City, Missouri, USA
 
   Sparky is very playful. He loves to chase our other Rat Terrier, Speckles, around the yard. Rat Terriers were bred to kill rats and other small rodents. Sparky has killed many rats and once killed a 16-inch rat in our back yard. He is an excellent watchdog he never barks unless something is wrong. He once cornered an opossum in our yard - he would not back off, even though it was hissing at him. It finally got away by climbing over the fence. Sparky doesn't do any tricks, he's just Sparky!
