Sparky, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sparky
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Lab, Saluki Mix
Home: Griggstown, New Jersey, USA
 
   Here is Sparky after having a good swim at the beach. Sparky was adopted nearly two years ago after our dog Scout died suddenly from an overdose of anaesthesia for minor surgery. We named him Sparky because he brought happiness back into our lives. Always ready to play, always ready to lick someone's face. We think he is part Saluki because he tries to catch balls first with his feet. Sparky is important to me because I like having a companion when I go running in the morning. We usually run on a canal towpath. When it's warm (meaning, for Sparky, there is no ice on the canal) I let him take a swim every couple of miles. He teases his adopted sister, Gretl, and sometimes steals unattended sandwiches from the counter, but most of the time Sparky just brings loads of laughs and happiness to our home.
