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. Their lives would never be the same.
Sprite and Pepsi became fast friends. They did everything together, from rummaging through the trash to loudly greeting the deliveryman. And the Levin family fell in love with him -- with his gentle nature, beautiful face and soft, huggable fur. But on Halloween night, shortly after joining their family, Sprite suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the animal hospital. It was the first of many such visits, and the start of a long journey for the Levin family, filled with much joy and anguish.
During the next two years, Sprite and Pepsi were inseparable. And Sprite's bond with the Levin family deepened. Friends, neighbors, and even Mark's radio audience came to know and love Sprite. As Mark's daughter turned eighteen and graduated from high school and Mark's son turned fifteen, Sprite's health deteriorated -- even as his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to inspire. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family said their emotional final goodbye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and fans for help.
But new hope came when the Levins least expected it.
Rescuing Sprite is a stunningly intimate look at the love between a family and a dog, one that movingly shows, in Mark Levin's words, that "in the end, we humans are the lucky ones."
The author will donate a portion of his proceeds from the sale of this book to animal shelters.

Good enough - 
It's always unique when a brilliant legal/political mind takes on a "softer" topic. This is what we have here, where Marc Levin, one of the more sentient American thinkers alive, tells the story of his family's love for their late dog, Sprite.
The book is fairly short and written at an elementary level. This is not to demean the text, but to show it's readable for all. In fact, my only criticism is that the book could have been shorter. It labored on the final 75 pages or so with lots of minutiae.
"Rescuing Sprite" is a nice tale I was able to read in 30-40 page chunks to my little one each night before bed over the course of a few weeks. The morals were pure and sound. It's a good family story.
Written from the soul of a dog lover -
This is a wonderful book. If you have ever loved a dog and had to make one of the most difficult decisions in your life, read this book. Mark Levin has helped me realize that I am not alone in wondering was it the right decision. (No matter what your mind tells you, your heart wonders.) You will not be able to put this book down once you start reading it.
Couldn't put it down -
My sister gave me this book as a birthday gift. I read it in two days I think on a vacation in Mexico. I literly couldn't put it down. I had put his book in my beach bag, it fell out, but of course I didn't realize that. I got back to the room and went to take it out and it was gone. I seriously balled because it was gone and I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it! Luckily I found it. But long story short, get this book. Its a quick, easy read, and so amazingly good!

Every pet owner should read. -
Was quite moved by this book. Actually had tears in my eyes in many parts of the book being a pet owner who has gone through similar situations multiple times. Most pet owners know that their pet/friend/buddy is so much more than a pet. They do occupy a place in the heart and when we lose a pet it leaves a hole in our lives that rarely if ever can be fulled.
This book gives us the knowledge that we are not alone in our feelings of a loss of a pet. Thank you Mark for writing this book.
