Mark,

Thanks so much for writing Rescuing Sprite. One would think it would be an easier read then Men in Black, but not for us dog lovers. We had a Golden Retriever Collie mix that my father had to have put down when I was sixteen. Pepe our Golden was also 16; I knew no life without him. It was devastating.

It wasn’t until I was 43, just 3 years ago that I got another Golden Retriever. We named her Liberty. She is incredibly affectionate, loving and loyal so much so we went back for another. We now have 2 Golden Retrievers, 3 & 2 years old. They are so much a part of our family that I can’t help thinking that we outlive our pets, a time that is so far off, yet I dread today.

I am very patriotic and proud of this country. So much so we named our Golden’s Liberty & Justice. If either were a male he would have been named Reagan.

God Bless you for all that you do.

Robert from NY
