For other photos of Strauss-Vilmont family pets of the late 1990s, see Kate, Flower and Bun-Bun photos. Sparky's photo didn't want to align with the frame, kinda like Sparky didn't align too well with most situations, but he was a rescue dog. One who perhaps never could be fully rescued. Murray was a different animal. A character also, but funny in a mild weird way and ha-ha funny in his unique way.
