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.

We put our dog Tramp down over a year ago, she was 15 and had sugar diabides. every day when she ate she would come up to us for her shot. we think it was the best for her because her quality of life was gone. it was the hardest things in the world for us but we know now it was the best for her.

Hi folks – and Mark. I want to say first that I have learned so much from you, Mark as to the workings of our government. I listen everyday. As a kid (10 to 16), living in Hamburg Germany from 1970 to 1976, I used to debate with the older german kids and adults with my perfect north German dialect. They heard me speak of the US while they spoke of Lenin, Mao’s little red book and anti-vietnam stuff etc. I remember, the Berlin wall, checkpoint Charlie, how drab east Berlin was, very grey and dark at night compared to West Berlin that was alive and lit like a Christmas tree at night. I have always been politically inclined.
But – to my first pet dog, Jetta, the black lab you see in the pictures. My wife wanted me to get a dog to keep me company while I worked at home. We have no children, it does not seem to be in the cards for us, so finally she convinced me. In Jan. of 2001 we went looking at the local shelter.
I saw her first, sitting in her kennel, being quiet but curious looking at all the folks as they would walk by. Those wonderful, smart eyes taking everything in, looking out her cage at us. She would not go potty in the cage, nor #2. The lady at the shelter, put Jetta to be on a leash and led us to a little area where she (not the shelter lady of course) relieved herself. As I watched walk around and sniff, I patted my leg and called her to me. She came and sat next to me for a minute, then got up and walked around, until we had to go back to the kennel. Jetta was in her first heat, having not been spayed yet. She had been dropped off at the pound earlier that week. We had seen her while she was in a 3 day waiting period. Maybe she had gotten loose and was lost, having been dropped off by a stranger who found her. To this day we do not know how she got there. In the end it was their loss One family was to see her at one pm on a Sunday, with my wife and I scheduled to see Jetta to be @ 2pm. Read the rest of this entry »
These are our two labs, Gabriel, (the Yellow male) and Ripley, (the Black female). They turn nine in Feb. 09 and have been relatively healthy. But, we recently found a couple of lump on Gabe that we are waiting for results on. After reading \’Rescuing Sprite\’, we have…well, my wife won\’t read it…we have earned a new respect and appreciation for our dogs. They are great and great for us. If you haven\’t read the book. Read it. It\’s moving, educational and eye-opening to how incredible Mark and his family are. And they truly are. I wish him and his family many blessings, as he has blessed me, through his books and his radio show. Truly, The Great One! God bless you all.
