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
Bindi
In November 2007, we rescued a dog from a pound in Georgia, just hours before she was to be euthanized. We found her on www.dogsindanger.com, a great website and a great charity. We love our Bindi, and are thankful to all the rescue folks who helped us get her home.

Sarge, Vuvie
We’ve adopted two Yorkies, one is named ‘Sarge’, he was adopted from the pet shelter here in town. Our New(er) yokie, Vuvie, was a puppie mill breeder that was going to be put to sleep since they had to do a ‘C’-section (spelling??) on her last litter, but we got her, and she’s a living doll! Sarge has been neutered and Viv spayed, as required by the pet center and the rescue group, respectively. The picture is of Sarge, sittin’ in a sunny spot!

Whizzy
I miss my brother George’s dog Whizzy who used to come over to me when I would be lying on the floor watching TV and bite my nose softly and sit on my head. Whizzy always sat I my head with his little butt and I was the only one who he did this too.

Gracie
I post this with a heavy heart. Gracie, my golden retriever turned five years old in January. On February 6th I said good bye to her. It was peaceful and she didn’t struggle but it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Although I know she was suffering; signing the paper to authorize the euthanasia was a heart wrenching experience; it was so very hard knowing that I was choosing the day to say good bye to my best friend.
At age three Gracie was diagnosed with a fibro sarcoma (cancerous tumor) on her upper jaw. We had the tumor removed, her prognosis was guarded. The tumor reappeared within one month; her vet said she would live two weeks to three months. Gracie lived almost one year longer than predicted. Although struggling to breathe through her nose this last month; she was eating well and came to me every night to play; squeaking one of her puppies in her mouth.
A contractor who did work for us late last year suggested I take Gracie for a second opinion, which I did; to a recommended Philadelphia veterinary hospital. Unfortunately it was too late for her. Imagine how I felt when the Dr. said she wished she had seen her when the tumor; which had grown to the size of an orange; was the size of a quarter. I was told they could have taken half of her snout if necessary to get clean margins, but as I said it was too late, her tumor had already spread. If your dog is diagnosed with this type of cancer; get a second opinion with the best surgical specialist you can find.
Thank you Mark for including your listening audience in your life during the happy and hard times with Sprite, I remember listening to you on the radio during that time. My heart broke for you and your family.
Everyone who has lost a pet tells me it gets easier…
My friend gave me a frame with this inscription; which says it all for me.
A beloved dog can never be replaced, only remembered with love…
I have attached a photo taken of her two weeks after she had her surgery in her favorite spot on our property.

Beau
Mark-I\’m an avid Rush listener and an artist who paints to talk radio so Im thrilled that I can now stream u. here\’s my doggie story. This is Beau a ten year old Border Collie who lives next door> The neighbors have a electric fence that goes around our yard as well. Beau is never walked and it breaks my heart to see him lay around all day. I had to stop walking him about 6 months ago because of a knee injury. I\’ve tried to guilt the neighbors into walking him but it\’s not working. Any persuasive ideas! I\’ve suggested they watch dog whisperer. There just not into exercising him. This dog really needs a farm with sheep! Love your show. Screw it! I\’ll just stop whining and keep walking him. Signed a Capitalist, Conservative, Right wing Conspirator Dog Lover.
