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.

Thor
The other night on the Mark Levin show, Ruth called in telling about the loss of her beloved FiFi and had said she read the Rescuing Sprite book and recommends it. I was listening to Ruth and Mr. Levin, all teary eyed in my car, as this was this same day that we had to put our beloved Nowegian Elkhound down.
We had 15 wonderful years with Thor, and will miss him dearly. Thor was very loyal and loved by the vet, the ladies at the kennel and friends and family that visited the house. He was a major part of our family, people asked about him, like he was one of the kids. We now have his ashes back and have them displayed with his tags. I will be picking up Rescuing Sprite, and can’t wait to read it.

Tilly
Tilly is a rescued Boston Terrier about 12 years old and I am very lucky to have been chosen as her companion a year and a half ago. She came from a wonderful foster home at the Florida Boston Terrier Rescue. My first BT was a Christmas gift back in Cuba in 1952 . She stayed with my parents who also adored her but I missed her greatly when I was sent to the US in 1961. There have been a few generations of other angels in my life since then and I also fostered one time. I couldn’t survive without at least one dog in my life. I take Tilly with me everywhere I can and Tilly is helping me with post-election depression.

Felix
Felix is a 6 year old pure breed Maine Coon cat. I adopted him from a great website .. petfinders.com.
I feel lucky to have him. He has the sweetest personality. Felix is one big lump of love. Actually, he is more like a dog. He talks and has to sit next to me wherever I am. I had to put a folding chair next to the computer so he can sit near me otherwise he cries.
He was living in foster care in Manhattan. The foster caregiver had dogs and non-declawed cats which were terrorizing him. It was an emergency adoption. The former owners had a baby and gave him away. Considering his markings and conformity to the breed standard, I am certain they paid a forturne for him.
The attached picture is of him in his window sill perch. The Maine Coon cat is the largest breed of domestic cat. He has big white paws and pokes me when he feels I need to be giving him more attention.
After reading Rescuing Sprite, I was motivated to look for a shelter animal. When I saw Felix’s sad and unhappy picture on the internet, I went into the city the next day and brought him home. Within 3 days, he was fully adjusted. He has never been outside and has always lived in an apartment. It was the perfect adoption since I wouldn’t be home enough for a dog.
I live alone and have to admit the best part of the day is the warm meowing greeting I get from him when coming home. I feel like he has turned this apartment into a home. I encourage anyone who has the means to give one of these angels a home.

Zima, Ziggy, Cinnamon & Onyx
Dear Levin Family,
I just read your tribute to Sprite, and I laughed and cried. You and your family show a true love to your dogs. We have four cats…Zima, the oldest is 14 to as young as I think 4. We only had 2 cats Zima & Ziggy, then my son had a cat & he moved and we inhereited Cinamon & the youngest one (which is all black) we got on our doorstep Halloween night. We named her Onyx. We asked the neighbors and nobody claimed her.
So…anyway we feel for your loss. I’m writing this two fold, one is about your loss of Sprite and the other is I had a stroke 10 years ago. I was 44. It effected my right side. I’ve handled it well and got back to what I usually do with the help of my husband with cleaning…I was quite a reader before my stroke. I read just about every book…then my stroke. I couldn’t read anymore…I would reread a sentence about a dozen times and it wouldn’t make sense. I picked up a book now and again and it was the same thing.
Well, I read a book the first of May, on a trip to the Oregon Coast, and I don’t know but I READ it. It felt so good! Your’s is the sixth book I’ve read…I went to the bookstore…(I had heard you on TV about your loving dog, Sprite) and got your book. I learned you can never give up even if it takes you 10 years!
Hugs,
Loretta from OR
