In fairness to Sparky, no one told him Tempe City councilman David Schapira was two months removed from back surgery. Sparky was just trying to make a friend, but it came at a cost.
Schapira was posing for a picture on the sideline during last Friday’s ASU-New Mexico game when Sparky jumped on his back — Schapira had momentarily put his cane down for the picture.
