Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish

I loved this book! My family recently had a rescue dog die suddenly, so I cried buckets reading this book remembering Coco. I read this book in one sitting, because I couldn't put it down. I liked that Mark talked about the dogs & how much they were a member of the family. I liked this book & how it wasn't written by an author, but rather by a person talking about their life. I like that it was easy to read, & a fast read. A very good book.

A couple months ago I lost a very special dog to an unknown illness. As a fan of Mr. Levin's talk show, I listen often. Recently Mr. Levin spoke about this book on his show. Given my recent loss, now seemed the right time to read this book. It was a quick read, but it resonated in my heart. I could easily relate to the many thoughts and emotions that Mr. Levin shares in this book. It has helped me, and I am sure many others, deal with loving, then loosing the gift that dogs are in our lives.

I have always admired Mark and his sense of humor but after reading this book, I have a whole new level of admiration for him. I too am a dog lover & have reacted as he did with the loss of each one of my dogs. His book is a combination of pure joy and depth of depression. I could not help but cry for his loss of such a beautiful soul, Sprite. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever loved a dog.
