Dear Mark
I’m writing you with a deep sadness in my heart. You see , I know the feeling of loss from the death of one of God’s creature’s and the pain and anguish of watching them suffer. The sadness of losing a caretaker of this wonderful shelter animals is as great.

Last Thursday January 4,2008 my wife Susan Ellen (Sunnie) Wymbs passed away from an uncontrllable disease. Sunnie was a New Jersey State Animal Control Officer and State certified Cruelty investigator . She lived for the care and welfare of the wonderful shelter dogs of which you have portrayed so eloquently in your absolutely wonderful book Rescuing Sprite. Mark you have so moved me that I needed to thank you in honor of my beloved wife Sunnie for bringing to light the joy and selflessness of rescuing animals from the numerous Shelters throughout the country.You are so right when you say that doing so is God’s work.

Thank you
God Bless you always,

Vincent from NJ

P.S. I’m a proud Letter Carriier for the United States Postal Service for 21 years. People seem to forget that during 9/11, we too were attacked by anthrax and had to deal with insurmountable stress from unfortunate events in making sure we touched each American with our daily deliveries . Could you possibly give us a nod of thanks on your show when you salute our great troops overseas

I’ve written before, Mark, and told you that upon being a faithful (spellbound) listener and a beneficiary of your spoken words and “Rescuing Sprite” that my relationship with my dog Duncan has been changed and elevated forever.

Recently Duncan has required surgery for a torn ligament in his leg. As (in the past) a dog owner, rather than a dog lover, I may have balked at the expense required and physical therapy that we perform each day. I now relish in the privilege of caring for a loved one.

You and Sprite came into our lives just in time. Thank you.
Never stop delivering your message and knowledge of our Constitution. Never.

Eternally grateful for you and Sprite,
Eric and Duncan from NC

I LOVE GRIFFEN! AS I LOVE PEPSI AND SPRITE, THE LATTER WHO WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US.

We must resign ourselves that “For everything there is a season .. a time to live, laugh and die.”

I’ve just finished reading your book for the second time. Pepsi, Spritey and Griffen are my loves too.

What a loving Creator, to show us what real unconditional love is through His pets. My Sunday School student (in 8th grade) revealed that dog spelled backwards is God.

A coincidence? I don’t think so.

When our pets and loved ones leave this earth for a better world, we must always thank God that He has given us so much love and rich experiences to make our days beautiful.

Was it an ‘accident’ that Spritey came and enriched your/our lives? The great Presbyterian theologian (of predestination), John Calvin would say ‘no.’ I agree with him.

It is also not an accident that your book will reveal the love not only of Pepsi, Spritey and Griffen (I want to know more about this cuddly little guy, though I wish you’d get them a little younger but predestination does not always give you choice) but the love of a really beautiful family, with loving friends.

Yes, we’re in love with your pets, but your book gives enormous dimensions into the wholesomeness of a loving family, with loving friends. What goes around comes around.

I was so impressed with Lauren’s David who ran in the snow bare foot to catch Sprite. Your kids come from good stock, and birds of a feather, fly together.

Thanks for introducing us to your beautiful loving Kendall.

I am also a great fan of Hannity, and of course Maharooshie.

Please take care. Our nation needs your great mind. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Ida from CA

PS: We’re praying you’ll write another book. We don’t know enough about Griffen. Love that name.

thanks for the photo gallery.

I loved your book. My husband bought it for me for my birthday. I read the book jacket and started crying. I got mad at my husband for buying it for me. After having it sit on the end table for over a month, I picked it up last night and finished it this morning. I cried and cried.

I have owned 3 dogs and 3 cats since I married. All were strays or from a shelter. I had to put 2 down, I couldn’t stay in the room with them when they were put down. I could barely see through a blurrey vision of tears to get out the door. I knew I was doing the right thing, they were very sick, and old. I couldn’t believe that I was actually taking a life that I loved so much. I have a huge problem with people who get animals and don’t take care of them, or flat out abuse them. God put them here for us to love and for them to love us.

God Bless you Mr. Levin and may God Bless Sprite and his spirit.

Murphy and his ferkocta “law” has prompted me to your humble corner. We’re bird owners & do have heart tugging stories but we decided to opt out cuz they’re birds….

This past weekend my husband’s 80 yr. old father accidently killed their beloved cockerspaniel with the car. Describing how he feels isn’t necessary. But they’re path to heal required adopting a new cockerspaniel puppy right away. It doesn’t help lady but it was essential to help the grieving.

God Bless you and yours Mark Levin.
The dog’s name was Smokin ‘Black Lady or lady for short.

Dear Zeus,

My dear Zeusy, you were the best kitty there was. You are always the first one to great me when I came home from work. You were there when I needed a friend. You were my alarm clock. What am I going to do now? I had to put you to sleep today and I miss you terribly. I hope you are in the catnip field in kitty heaven.

Love, Mommy
