What's up, dog?

Spark is a rescue dog who joined our home after a foster fail. She started her life in a puppy mill and so we had to teach her to be a dog and know that walks and love are part of life. She now knows all about love and treats and goes to doggy daycare and plays with toys. If she wants a pat she will come and tell you she wants a pat. We love her very much and could not do life without her. She has recently made a friend with Carson and this is them at school together
