Saving Paws

I can honestly say i had never heard of Mark Levin before i bought “Rescuing Sprite”. I had actually never even heard of the book, but i was a member of a book club and had order a couple books that appealed to me. I am an animal lover, dogs and cats. The cover of the book caught by eye and i felt i had to have it. I read the book in less than 24 hours (which is a huge feat for me considering i am employed full time, a wife, mom of 2 young girls, and involved in many other things that always seem to take my time away.

One of those things that is very important to me is a animal rescue that is near to my heart named Saving Paws. The rescue is no-kill and completely volunteer run. The dedication that i have seen amazes me. My family has several animals, always has and always will if i have anything to say about it. I believe animals provide so much love! They are always there for us in our time of need and love us with all they have.

Sprite was so fortunate to be adopted by your family! I, too have done the “would have” could have” should have” when it comes to decisions i have made regarding my pets, but when i made those decisions i was doing what i thought was right and with love in my heart for that animal. Thank you for sharing your story about Sprite.

Ms. Misty

Mark, I put my doggie daughter to rest this past week. A friend and neighbor, and a fan of yours sent me your book about Pepsi and Sprite. I put it away when I received it and continued my guilt about having not done enough to keep Ms. Misty with us, not calling off the vet, and just plain spiraling even further into my depression that I have been in for months. For some reason I decided one night to pick it up and I could not put it down. I sobbed and sobbed as I read your journey and felt exactly the same things you had written. My heart was breaking for you and for me.

Sprite was a blessed dog to have you and your famiily and I believe intentionally entrusted to you by God. Ms. Misty was a neighbors dog from puppyhood to 71/2 when she came to live with me.
I have honored to not only give her the life she more than deserved, even through my pain and grief of only a week without her I know God entrusted her to my care. We are both the beneficiaries of a love and bond that only we can know, a gift so large there are no words to completely explain it. Thank you for writing this book and thank you for loving Sprite and sharing your pain with so many of us. I am awaiting Ms. Mistys return to place her in a spot of honor in our home. In the meantime you have given me some comfort in knowing I am not the only one who has felt this way and I will be okay again.

My Friends Oreo & Tasha

Hey Mark! Mommy found me at the local shelter. She tells everyone she fell in love with me the moment she saw me. I live with her and daddy now and 2 cats named Oreo and Tasha. Mommy says she got them at the place where she found me too. They tell me we are moving soon to a place where I can run around in something called a backyard. I don’t know what that is yet, but it sounds like lots of fun. If it is half as fun as the place we are now I know I will love it.

Cody

Hi Mark
Thanks for all you do!
This is my little buddy
Cody. I got him from a co-worker 3 years ago. She needed to find a new home for him because he was sick and she couldn’t give him the time he needed.
He is doing GREAT with our family.

I have a small flower delivery business and he rides along with me every day. He not only makes my day enjoyable, but brings smiles to everyone we meet.
As you can see in the picture he sits in the passenger seat just like a person. When people drive up next to us they have to take a double take. There are people that know who we are around town and always drive up and wave and look for Cody.

When I get out of the van to make my delivery, you will find him on the dash watching every move I make. When I get back in the van he assumes his position.
My husband and I have been married 25 years and this is our first dog. He never wanted a dog, but I really didn’t give him a choice, I told him I was bringing Cody home, but I don’t think he took me seriously. The next day I showed up with him and the rest is history. He jumped right into our hearts and guess who is his best buddy. My husband! We have 2 daughters that are 18 and 22 that constantly say “we should have gotten a dog a long time ago”.
They can’t believe what Cody has done to their dad. It’s been pure enjoyment and a true blessing for our family!!

Love the saying
“God spelled backwards is dog…Coincidence…I
don’t think so”

All my best
