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.
Sprite and Pepsi became fast friends. They did everything
together, from rummaging through the trash to loudly greeting the
deliveryman. And the Levin family fell in love with him -- with his
gentle nature, beautiful face and soft, huggable fur. But on
Halloween night, shortly after joining their family, Sprite
suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the animal hospital. It was
the first of many such visits, and the start of a long journey for
the Levin family, filled with much joy and anguish.
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. As Mark's daughter turned eighteen and graduated from high
school and Mark's son turned fifteen, 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 goodbye. Crushed and
consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and fans for
help.
But new hope came when the Levins least expected it.
"Rescuing Sprite" is a stunningly intimate look at the love
between a family and a dog, one that movingly shows, in Mark
Levin's words, that "in the end, we humans are the lucky ones."
The author will donate a portion of his proceeds from the sale
of this book to animal shelters.
