Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish
LazerFlash avatar reviewed on + 41 more book reviews


The story of the Levin family and their interactions with the dogs they've shared their lives with is a sad tail (pun, intended) that most dog lovers can relate to. Mark Levin has a real talent for reliving his experiences and putting them down in words. "Rescuing Sprite" Was a 'hard' read for me - I just couldn't read it at the normal speed with which I devour books. I often found myself choking up and reliving times & events from my own life with the critters who have shared my life with me. In my mind, this is the true gift of this book. I highly recommend "Rescuing Sprite" to all pet owners, although it's probably not the best read for those who have recently lost a beloved pet. Also, beware - you will need to have a tissue or two handy as you read parts of this book. ;-)

Oh, and for those who have certain preconceptions about RP Rush Limbaugh, you will be seriously rethinking them after reading this book. 'Nuf said about that; read the book and find out what I mean by that. :-P
