This is my best buddy, Xero. I adopted him after he had yet another fight with his younger Neo-Mastiff brother. The problem with Jack Russells is they are not scared of anything! it almost cost him his life but I\’m am forever grateful that he now lives with me. He is my best friend and the smartest dog I\’ve ever met. It is hard to imagine life without this little bundle of energy. Thank you Mark for everything you do for America.

Our family had Lucky, a Samoyed, for almost 18 years. He was, as the original owner put it, a poor example of the breed and had no papers. We took him anyway and he became one of the most loving members of our family. His favorite winter game was stealing hats off the sleigh-riders and having them chase him. We replaced lots of hats and didn’t mind a bit.
Lucky enriched us more than words would tell and God bless all of the dog lovers out there. These dogs only ask to be part of our lives and, in return, give us everything they have without reservation!

My dog Taz has been my best friend for 11 years. I got him when he was 8 weeks old. This dog is simply amazing. Believe it or not he is my riding buddy. He loves to ride with me on my HArley

We have a mini Schnauzer named Tidus. He is an awsome dog.We got him for a birthday present for my wife after we had to have our 13 year old Mini Schnauzer Nina put to sleep. She was very ill with cancer.Nina was the first dog I ever had.I got her when she was 10 weeks old she was born on Superbowl Sunday in 1991.She grew upwith the kids and loved them all.She thought they were her kids and even though she was small about 15 pounds she was very pretective of not only our kids but any other ones near to her.
She lived a long and happy life.But a couple of years berore she passed away she started to develop cataracts and loose some hearing, The vet said it was old age and Schauzers only live 10 to 12 years so any thing passed that was a plus.Then she started to get fatty tumors and loose muscle mass in her rear legs she couldn\’t walk very well and the vet said she was full of cancer and nothing could be done. The next few months were very hard . She continued to get worse and finally he told us to take her home and give her anything she wanted to eat and make her comfortable as possible. We would put some towles in the dryer and heat them up so she could lay down in them .She just loved those warm towles.
Then one morning 09/11/2004 we knew it was time. We took her to the vet and had her put to sleep.We did not want to get another dog so soon but mother in law gave us Tidus for my wifes birthday.There is no other animal as loyal and loving as a dog.They would give up their life for their master in a heartbeat. How many people are a loyal forgiving trusting and brave as a dog?Tidus is spoiled rotten but isn\’t that what you are supposed to do with your dogs.

Hello Mark, We lent our Saving Sprite book to one of our old neighbors again.
This time, an elderly lady had to put down her dog in our neighborhood. My husband immediately lent her your book.
I hug our Old English Sheepdog, Crumpetz, every time I hear of someone losing his or her dog. Mark, we love your show and hope you increase your show on San Diego 760 KFMB to 3 hours! Thank you, Mark
