Average Customer Ratings:
Although Mark Levin is known as a constitutional lawyer and a nationally syndicated broadcaster, he is, first and foremost, a dog lover. In 1998, he and his family welcomed a half-Border Collie/half-Cocker Spaniel they named Pepsi into their lives. Six years later, his wife and son persuaded him to adopt a dog from the local shelter, a Spaniel mix. It turned out he was older than originally thought, and he was the most beautiful dog they'd ever seen. They named him Sprite. Their lives would never be the same.
During the next two years, Sprite and Pepsi were inseparable. And Sprite's bond with the Levin family deepened. Friends, neighbors, and even Mark's radio audience came to know and love Sprite. But Sprite's health deteriorated -- even as his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to inspire. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family said their emotional final good-bye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and fans for help. But new hope came when the Levins least expected it.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A good dog story -
Who doens't like a great dog story? I know I do. Rescuing Sprite is just that. I admire Mark Levin and the love he has for his dogs Pepsi and Sprite. It takes a special family to adopt an older dog.
I found most of the novel to be general and generic discriptions of his life with the dogs, and I wish we got to know more about who the dogs were and some of the adventures with them. I feel like it was missing that for the reader- the essence of who the dogs were. We all love our dogs, but it's missing the things that make books like Grogan's Marley and Me so awesome. If you really want to read a great dog book read that one. This one was not a page turner since I felt like Levin just recounted events rather than roped you into a story. Still, it's moving the emotion he had for his animals.

Why Did He Write This? -
I love dogs and I love books about dogs, but this one stinks. Sorry.
Read this if you ever loved and lost a dog -
The dogs I have grieved most intensely over, I realize, have been the ones I who were in my life the shortest amount of time. Perhaps it is the deep wish that more time could have been granted to me with these dogs. So it was I think with Mark, who had only two short years with Sprite, and whose detailed expression of grief was more pure and honest and heart-wrenching than any I could ever imagine. This man has given us a gift of his love and devotion, and his book is a tribute not only to Sprite but to all of us who have ever felt what he did. The reviewers who didn't read the book all the way through missed the most valuable part of it -- it wasn't about the dog himself, with all kinds of amazing and enjoyable cute "stories", but about Mark's FEELINGS about this dog, expressed so incredibly well as Sprite's days came to an end. I think this will be a catharsis for many readers who have gone through the same thing fighting the pain all the way. The only way to deal with it is to let yourself feel it. This will help, I know it will. It helped me.
Great read for animal lovers -
