We’re on vacation in Mexico. We both just read Rescuing Sprite and shared it with some friends that we met here. It’s one of the most heartwarming stories we’ve ever read. And being dog owners and lovers (we have 3 Yorkies), your tale touched our hearts deeply. The joys of dog ownership can only be eclipsed by the sadness of losing one, in whatever way God chooses to take them. We’ve endured the slow aging process and the sudden loss, and there is never an easy way. And the sadness lasts and it hurts, more than one can ever describe.

Know that on this day of the anniversary of your loss, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your story.

As a fan of both you and your books, I can’t tell you how much it means to share yet another aspect of American life with you, and that is the joy of loving and being loved by a dog like Sprite.
