Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish by Mark R. Levin


Rescuing Sprite is a wonderful book about the joy and heartbreak of owning a dog. Many people have heard of Mark Levin from his nationally syndicated radio show, but many may not know that in his personal life, he is a dog lover, and recently suffered the loss of one of his dogs, Sprite. Mark’s family had previously adopted another shelter dog, Pepsi, before adopting a second shelter dog, Sprite, who charmed them with his beauty and calm demeanor. However, when they adopted Sprite they had no idea that he was much older than they were told, and there was no clue that he would soon suffer from serious health problems. Anyone who has ever loved and lost a dog, especially a senior dog, will understand Mark’s and his family’s anguish as they watched the dog they loved as his health deteriorated and they finally had to have him put to sleep.
