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.

Listener Stories
Nutmeg
Nutmeg: 11/4/2000 – 3/29/2009
We lost Nutmeg on 3/29/2009 after a 6 month battle with cancer.
Nutmeg was born as the first puppy in a litter of eight in our household; we arrived seconds after she was born. We managed to keep 4 of the eight dogs in the family, Kimber, Orion, George, and Nutmeg. Nutmeg had a loving and loyal personally and remained a puppy for the first 7 years of her life. Her tail was like a whip and broke many glasses on the coffee table and bruised many legs. When we would come home, she would greet us to massive tail and back end wagging- she was so excited to see us we wondered how she managed to stay standing with the back end moving so quickly. She wasn’t the brightest dog and struggled to work out simple concepts to our other dogs- like the path of a thrown ball and that it would eventually land and she didn’t’ have to wait for it to land to run after it. Even being the slower thinking of the three dogs- she managed to figure out how to open the gate first so she could lie on the couch while we worked. She was greatly loved. She loved to go for walks, rides in the car, play tug of war, chase a ball, cuddle, or run with the other dogs when they ran- even if she didn’t know why they were running. She managed to get into trouble quite often, whether it was digging in the trash, taking food of the counter tops, or eating a couch.
In November of 2008, Nutmeg’s front left shoulder/leg swelled up with a baseball size lump and she was unable to move. We took her to the vet and elected to have exploratory surgery. After surgery, the vet confirmed it was a tumor but the lab results came back negative for cancer. Nutmeg appeared to be healing and was back to herself. A month later, the area began to swell again and we returned to the vet. (more…)
Charlie
June last year a dog came trotting down the sidewalk as I tended to my garden. Unaware my neighbor an animal lover pointed him out to me. I immediately called him and secured him in my backyard. After repeated attempts to contact the owner, I made the decision with my vet’s approval to keep him. His infected eye and ears were not being treated, nor was he even fed regularly. The picture shows “Charlie” my American Foxhound properly fed, combed, bathed and loved. I could not do without Charlie. He filled a huge void left by my Great Dane ‘Lucky’ ,although she will always be missed I cherish my time with my dear Foxhound “Charlie”; the handsome,hungry Hound.

Greyhounds
Being from California, I have moved over 30 times. As an adult, I have cared for more than 60 dogs, most of which were rescued ex-racing greyhounds. During the past 15 years, I adopted many of the dogs which were either the wrong color, too old, had a limp, or unadoptable. I loved each one as the individual that they were and when they passed the pain was almost unbearable. After each little coffin was returned to me, I wondered why I put myself through this pain. Each time, the answer came back, when I looked at my remaining three. The unconditional love given to me and returned to them is a gift to all. I can’t afford to adopt any more dogs at this time, but am working hard for future income. As it happens, my final move was to Wheeling, WV, where greyhound racing is a prominent pastime. During the season, 900 dogs race every day and are given up when they can’t compete. From what I can gather, these dogs are not destroyed but are shipped out of the area. I am not sure if they go to labs or rescue groups. I look forward to the day when I have 10 dogs again and unfortunately, more little coffins.
