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.
I’ve posted on your website before but wanted to let you know that this photo really reminds me of my family’s two shelter dogs, Devins (black German Shepherd/Chow) and Marki (tan/white Shepherd/Husky). Devins and Marki are named in honor of two Law School Professors – of Constitutional and Criminal Law, respectively – deeply respected by my husband and me.
Like Sprite, Marki was rescued from the streets of Silver Spring, MD, by the Montgomery County Humane Society. Also like Sprite, we don’t know Marki’s age and have a feeling she’s older than the shelter’s estimate (we think she’s about 4, while we know Devins’s almost 2). And Devins and Marki also are unique – we haven’t seen any other dogs just like them yet.
This past weekend, my husband and I were determined to find Rescuing Sprite. We had no luck in Germantown, MD, but were ecstatic to see four copies of Rescuing Sprite on a front table in the Rockville Barnes & Noble. I spent my lunch hour Monday finishing Rescuing Sprite and cried harder than I have in a long time. Rescuing Sprite is beautiful, as are Sprite, Pepsi, and Griffen, and I proudly have displayed Rescuing Sprite on my desk near photos of Devins, Marki, and the rest of our family.
As much as my husband and I have enjoyed your radio show in the past, being staunch conservatives, we now feel like we’re part of your community. Thank you.

one can never have enough dogs or enough dog toys.

I like how Sprite has a big smile on his face…while Pepsi looks so inquisitive. I just wish I knew what they are thinking.
